From the Editor in Chief (interim), Subhash Banerjee, MD. INTRODUCTION Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in which patients have signs and symptoms of HF as the result of high left ventricular (LV) filling pressure despite normal or near normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF; 50 percent) [].Most patients with HFpEF also display normal LV volumes and an abnormal Acute heart failure (HF) is a life-threatening medical condition with high inpatient mortality (typically > 4 %). Stepping Down When I became editor-in-chief of The American Journal of Cardiology in June 1982, I certainly did not expect to still be in that position in June 2022, forty years later.More.
