Keywords:

  • individualizing treatment of heart failure;
  • recognising and managing patient with heart failure - and preserved ejection fraction;
  • heart failure (HF), inability of heart - to pump adequate blood volume;
  • proper nomenclature, to use for HF - in setting of normal EF and DHF;
  • diastolic heart failure (DHF), fundamental difference in pathophysiologic mechanisms;
  • Kaplan-Meier survival curves;
  • DHF patients, comparable morbidity - to those with SHF;
  • heart failure with preserved - or normal ejection fraction;
  • increased passive diastolic stiffness - in patients with DHF;
  • Irbesartan in heart failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Study (I-PRESERVE)
