About Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common condition where the heart muscle becomes stiff, struggling to fill with blood properly. This can lead to fatigue and shortness of breath. Managing HFpEF often requires ongoing medication, and TheDrugClub helps members afford these vital prescriptions, ensuring consistent care without financial strain.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a nuanced form of heart failure that affects millions. Unlike heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), where the heart's pumping ability is weakened, in HFpEF, the heart muscle itself becomes stiff and less elastic. This means that while the heart can still pump blood out effectively, it struggles to relax and fill with enough blood between beats. This reduced filling capacity means less blood is delivered to the body, leading to common symptoms like shortness of breath, especially during activity or when lying down, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles.
Diagnosing HFpEF involves a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and tests like echocardiograms to assess heart function and structure. Risk factors often include high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and kidney disease, which can all contribute to the heart muscle becoming stiff over time.
Managing HFpEF typically focuses on controlling symptoms and treating underlying conditions
