What are the recommended treatments for hypertension in patients with HFpEF?
Most patients with HFpEF require treatment with cardiac medications for the comorbidities of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation. The 2013 HF guidelines suggest that the use of -blocking agents, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs in patients with hypertension is reasonable to control BP in patients with HFpEF. The use of ARBs might also be considered to decrease hospitalizations for patients with HFpEF.
