Description
Faith Adedayo Adejumo and co-authors review how heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is found and reported in Sub-Saharan Africa, in a review paper from 2026. In this form, the heart pumps a normal share of blood yet still fails. Diagnosis is complex and should combine symptoms, heart scans, and blood markers, but resources in the region are limited.
The review gathers observational studies that report pumping share data from the region. It extracts how the condition was defined, which scan measures were used, and whether markers were checked. Simplified methods may undercount cases and vary between sites. The paper maps evidence gaps for better diagnosis.
