Abstract
Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF), previously referred to as diastolic heart failure, has increased in prevalence as a cause of heart failure, now accounting for up to 50% of all cases. Contrary to initial evidence, the prognostic outlook in HFNEF may be similar to that of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
