Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) affects between 1.1-5.5% of the general population, with a prevalence of > 10% in older adults (> 75 years of age). Patients with HFpEF suffer from significant morbidity and mortality, however traditional therapies used to manage Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF), have failed to reduce morbidity or mortality in these patients. Recently, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated benefits in this population, but limitations in data pose questions regarding application to routine patient care. Further, new recommendations for both mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) and angiotensin receptor blocker neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) warrant a closer look. This session will discuss an initial overview of HFpEF, the "traditional" approach to management, and gaps in patient care; next an interactive discussion of recently evaluated entities for HFpEF, including MRA, ARNI and SGLT2 inhibitors. A case based format will be used.
