RE: RECOOP Visegrad Scholarship – Institute of Cardiology, Debrecen, Hungary
The diagnosis of diastolic heart failure is made when a patient presents with heart failure and normal left
ventricular contractile performance. It stands in opposition to systolic heart failure, which is diagnosed when a
patient presents with heart failure and reduced left ventricular contractile performance. Left ventricular contractile
performance is frequently quantified by left ventricular ejection fraction (= ratio of left ventricular stroke volume
over left ventricular end-diastolic volume; normal value > 50%). Diastolic heart failure is therefore also often called
heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF).
Patients with diastolic heart failure are usually older than patients with systolic heart failure. At least two thirds of
diastolic heart failure patients are women. Frequent comorbidities are overweight or obesity, arterial hypertension
with a wide pulse pressure, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diastolic heart failure is currently
observed in 50% of heart failure patients and is prevalence relative to systolic heart failure is rising at an alarming
rate of 1% annually.
