Clinical profile and contemporary management of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: results from the CHECK-HF registry.

CONCLUSION: The medical HFpEF profile is determined by the underlying comorbidities, sex and age. Comorbidities are highly prevalent in HFpEF patients, especially in elderly HFpEF patients. Despite the lack of evidence, many HFpEF patients receive regular beta-blockers, RAS inhibitors and MRAs, often for the treatment of comorbidities.
