What is another word for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Pronunciation: [hˈɑːt fˈe͡ɪli͡ə wɪð pɹɪsˈɜːvd ɪd͡ʒˈɛkʃən fɹˈakʃən] (IPA) 
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is also known by several synonyms that are used interchangeably in medical communities. One common term for this condition is diastolic heart failure, which refers to the impaired ability of the ventricles to fill with sufficient blood during the resting phase of the heart cycle. Other synonyms for HFpEF include heart failure with normal ejection fraction, systolic-diastolic heart failure, and heart failure with preserved systolic function. Although these different names describe the same underlying cardiovascular disease, each term highlights a particular aspect of the physiologic and functional changes that occur in the heart during this condition.
