Aging population and poorly controlled hypertension contribute to an ever-increasing
prevalence of heart failure. Two different phenotypes of heart failure, namely, heart failure
with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, are being
increasingly recognized. However, they may not necessarily be separate processes and
may actually represent a continuum. Nevertheless, either form of heart failure is associated
with very high morbidity and mortality. Significant advances have been achieved in …
