Patients with HFpEF and symptoms and signs of ischemia are treated with standard therapy including beta\blockers and calcium channel blockers.57 Patients with epicardial CAD may require complete coronary revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery.57 However, retrospective data suggest that clinically evident, acute coronary ischemia may not be the key trigger for acute decompensation in HFpEF, that the EF does not decline during an acute episode,58 and that revascularizing epicardial coronary stenoses has little effect on preventing the recurrence of acute HFpEF.59 prevalence has been increasing due to an aging general population and increased longevity.

For these reasons, restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm are preferred when AF occurs in patients with HFpEF.

HFpEF is usually progressive due to complex mechanisms of systemic and cardiac adaptation that vary over time, particularly with aging. With this review, we examine growing data concerning HFpEF that may help clarify past challenges and provide future directions to care individuals with this highly prevalent, heterogeneous medical syndrome. Individuals with HFpEF and symptoms and indications of ischemia are treated with standard therapy including beta\blockers and calcium channel blockers.57 Patients with epicardial CAD may require complete coronary revascularization by percutaneous coronary treatment or coronary artery bypass graft surgery.57 However, retrospective data suggest that clinically obvious, acute coronary ischemia may not be the key result in for acute decompensation in HFpEF, the EF does not decrease during an acute episode,58 and that revascularizing epicardial coronary stenoses has little effect on preventing the recurrence of acute HFpEF.59 prevalence has been increasing due to an aging general population and increased longevity. AF in HFpEF associated with impaired LV systolic, diastolic function and practical reserve, larger remaining atria (LA) with poor LA function, RV dysfunction, more severe neurohumoral activation, and impaired exercise tolerance.60, 61 Tachycardia is also deleterious by shortening the time of diastole that may impair adequate diastolic filling. For these reasons, repair and maintenance of sinus rhythm are desired when AF happens in individuals with HFpEF. To restore sinus rhythm, cardioversion is recommended because catheter ablation of AF experienced limited very long\term success in HFpEF.62 If cardioversion is unsuccessful, rate control and permanent anticoagulation become required.57 is more prevalent in HFpEF than in HFrEF individuals and associated with increased risk of HF hospitalization and overall mortality.63 The 2017 ACC/AHA HF management update included a class IIb recommendation for iron replacement therapy in appropriately determined individuals, although HFpEF individuals have not been included in the cited trials.9 Treatment of anemia with erythropoietin analogs received a class III recommendation (no benefit).9 Table 3 Practical management of heart failure with maintained ejection fraction Diuretics at the lowest effective dose for signs and symptoms of volume overload Moderate sodium restriction diet Every patient should have a home level, weigh themselves daily, and be provided with instruction for TG-02 (SB1317) actions to take based on weight changes Comprehensive HF disease management, including education, close follow\up, particularly for recently hospitalized patients Control of blood pressure, diabetes, and other comorbidities Avoid iatrogenic volume overload Repair and maintenance of sinus rhythm, control of heart rate in patients with permanent AF Search for and treat symptomatic myocardial ischemia Formal sleep assessment in HF patients with suspicion of sleep disordered breathing or excessive daytime sleepiness Regular moderate physical activity Open in a separate TG-02 (SB1317) window Abbreviations: AF, atrial fibrillation; HF, heart failure. 2.7.
