Although preserved ejection fraction is found in more than 50% of patients with heart failure, its acceptance as a specific clinical entity is limited. More understanding of the physiopathology, early diagnosis and medical management is needed. With no existing systematic information in the literature, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the new imaging techniques for diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, particularly in the early stages of the disease, underlying the pivotal role of new technologies such as two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography and vascular stiffness.
尽管超过50%的心力衰竭患者射血分数正常，但它作为一种特定临床实体的认可度有限。我们需要对其病理生理学、早期诊断和药物治疗有更多了解。鉴于文献中尚无系统信息，本综述旨在全面概述用于诊断射血分数正常的心力衰竭的新成像技术，特别是在疾病早期阶段，强调二维斑点追踪超声心动图和血管僵硬度等新技术的关键作用。
