    Thank you very much for your comment. I really appreciate it. This video kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmZ_o9Gdo6TafrQ.htmlsi=RvIdwvveApAhtspQ reinforces some of the heart failure concepts and other people have found it useful especially in terms of distinguishing between the management of HFpEF and HFrEF 👍

    Thank you for your comment. The issue is that NICE does not have a specific section on the management of HFpEF. Instead, they put the management of HFpEF under the management of “all types of heart failure”. This is because HFpEF does not have any specific treatment other than the symptomatic relief with diuretics (although recently NICE updated the guidance recommending dapagliflozin as an option). It is easier to understand on a practical case and perhaps I explain it better in another one of my videos: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmZ_o9Gdo6TafrQ.htmlsi=_a0qCLieuJKpNrox . Here I explain in more detail the rationale of the HF management even before we know the patient’s type of heart failure. If you do not want to go through the initial discussion, you can fast forward to minute 10.38 where I start talking about the management. I hope that this helps.

    The doctors where I'm from are not this explanatory. Since diagnosed in 8/19 I've been in the dark about hf. Watching your video , im actually starting to understand it a lil better. I've been referring to google and fb groups and self research and just getting more confused. I wish my doctors were as explanatory as you are it starting to make sence... by the time they figure it out, it will probably be too late for me😭
