Some patients with apparent heart failure (HF) have an ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50% and elevated levels of natriuretic peptides (NPs), but no significant diastolic dysfunction. Among these, some may… Click to show full abstract

Some patients with apparent heart failure (HF) have an ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50% and elevated levels of natriuretic peptides (NPs), but no significant diastolic dysfunction. Among these, some may have HF, others may not. Myocardial strain is an excellent prognostic factor.
