Also known as diastolic heart failure, HFpEF occurs when the heart's lower left chamber loses its ability to relax and fill up with enough blood in between in each heartbeat.

How to treat the many heart failure patients who present with preserved ejection fraction has remained a question -- now PEP-CHF reports the benefit of RAS inhibition in these patients.

High output and low output heart failure refer to how much blood your heart pumps to your body with each heartbeat. In both cases, the output is not enough to satisfy your body's needs. Learn more.

A total of 731 patients with diastolic heart failure and a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above were randomized to receive injections of either tirzepatide or a harmless placebo.

Those with diastolic heart failure also had a mean $6,500 more in total hospital costs (P = .0006) and spent a mean 0.7 more days in the hospital (P = .011) compared with adults without heart failure.

People with the most common form of heart failure may benefit from a new, minimally invasive cardiac implant device, particularly if they exercise, a study published Tuesday by the Lancet found.
