Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) will soon become the most prevalent form of HF because of an aging population and an accompanying increase in the number of risk factors for this disease. The high frequency of comorbidities typical of this population contributes to an increased risk for hospitalization and death. It is also partially responsible for the symptomatic deterioration that results in hospitalization and impaired quality of life and functional capacity in patients. The effects of HFpEF are felt by patients and their caregivers, who might experience detriment to their own health and their social and working lives. Financial burden is associated with HFpEF, stemming from hospitalization and long-term care costs, as well as absenteeism from work in the case of caregivers. Early identification of patients at risk and aggressive management are key to preventing this disease and its progression.
射血分数保留的心力衰竭（HFpEF）将很快成为最常见的心力衰竭形式，这是由于人口老龄化以及这种疾病的危险因素数量增加所致。该人群的共病发生率高，导致住院和死亡风险增加。这也是导致患者住院、生活质量和功能能力受损的症状恶化的部分原因。HFpEF 对患者及其护理人员产生影响，他们可能会自身健康以及社会和工作生活受到影响。HFpEF 会带来经济负担，这源于住院和长期护理费用，以及护理人员缺勤导致的工作收入损失。早期识别高危患者并进行积极管理是预防这种疾病及其进展的关键。
