Its diagnostic process is challenging and imprecise due to absence of a single diagnostic marker, and the multiparametric echocardiography evaluation needed. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is a limited marker of LV function; thus, allocating HF phenotypes based on LVEF can be misleading. HFpEF encompasses a broad spectrum of causes, and its diagnostic criteria give a central role to echocardiography, a first-line technique with inherent limitations related to ultrasound capabilities. Conversely, cardiac magnetic resonance provides superior anatomic and functional assessment, enabling tissue characterization, offering unprecedented diagnostic precision.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCardiac filling pressuresCardiac magnetic resonanceDiastolic dysfunctionHeart failure with preserved ejection fractionReview Article17344746210.1016/j.hfc.2021.03.006Q3WOS:0006549850000142-s2.0-8510724082334051976
