      What is the definition of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)?

      Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a syndrome wherein the left ventricle of the heart is unable to relax normally between each heartbeat. This leads to an increase in blood pressure in the left ventricle when blood fills it between each heartbeat. An ejection fraction measures how well the heart pumps blood. In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, while there is heart failure the ejection fraction is normal.
