纠正危险因素是预防或者延缓临床心力衰竭发生的关键。一旦确诊心力衰竭,射血分数保留的心衰患者的预后与收缩功能受损患者相似。射血分数保留组与减低组的1年及5年死亡率、心衰再住院率和住院并发症均相近。[7]Owan TE, Hodge DO, Herges RM, et al.

N末端脑钠尿肽前体(NT-proBNP)水平与患者全因死亡率及心力衰竭的住院治疗率呈正相关。[57]Cleland JG, Taylor J, Freemantle N, et al.

贫血可能提示预后不良和/或死亡率增加,应给予适当治疗。[86]von Haehling S, van Veldhuisen DJ, Roughton M, Babalis D, et al.

心力衰竭患者中抑郁症患病率高,且与更高的住院率相关。因此,应对患者进行抑郁症筛查和早期干预。[87]Johnson TJ, Basu S, Pisani BA, et al. Depression predicts repeated heart failure hospitalizations. J Card Fail. 2012;18:246-252.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22385946?tool=bestpractice.com
一项Meta分析显示,与松弛异常或正常模式相比,假性正常化的舒张期充盈模式与死亡风险增加相关,且该风险大小与限制性充盈模式相似。[88]Somaratne JB, Whalley GA, Poppe KK, et al.

尚无治疗可降低射血分数保留的心力衰竭患者的死亡率。近年来,射血分数减低患者的生存率有升高趋势,但射血分数保留心力衰竭患者的生存率没有改变。[7]Owan TE, Hodge DO, Herges RM, et al. Trends in prevalence and outcome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. N Engl J Med. 2006;355:251-259.http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa052256#t=articlehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16855265?tool=bestpractice.com
