HFpEF connotes diastolic dysfunction despite a normal ejection fraction. Diastolic dysfunction also occurs frequently in patients with HFrEF. [Hurst’s The Heart Section 11:13a,14a-b,15a ...

Obesity influences the thresholds, but even in nonobese patients with dyspnea, optimal cutoffs may be lower than recommended.
