| Popis: | The treatment of patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular (LV) function is not well established and remains mostly empirical. The lack of large placebo-controlled trials in this field seems to be because investigators mainly focus on systolic dysfunction, which was for a long while perceived as the only causative mechanism of heart failure, and also because of the ambiguity of the definition of diastolic heart failure (DHF). The fact that isolated diastolic dysfunction is probably a relatively rare condition is an additional problem. |
