Improving Recognition of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in the Outpatient Setting: A Pilot Study of Readily Useful Clinical Attributes
Symptoms such as dyspnea, exercise intolerance, exertional chest pain, and easy fatigability should prompt early referral to cardiology, particularly in middle-aged and older patients with the relevant comorbidities seen in this study. Incorporating these clinical indicators into electronic medical records can enhance early recognition and diagnosis of HFpEF, improving patient outcomes.
