Description
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the most common type of heart failure in older adults and associated with high morbidity, mortality and frequent hospital admissions.
Despite its increase in prevalence in older adults, an effective treatment regimen has not been identified. Dr. Zieman will review recent evidence which shifts the pathophysiologic target from the heart to age-related changes in the periphery raising the possibility of novel treatment options. She will review recent data from clinical trials underlying this important paradigm shift in the cause and potential treatment of HFpEF.
Susan Zieman, M.D., Ph.D. joined the Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology as a Medical Officer in the Geriatrics Branch. Dr. Zieman comes to the National Institute on Aging (NIA) from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where she was Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Divisions of Cardiology and Geriatrics. Her interests in the Geriatrics Branch at NIA are focused on organ-specific diseases of older adults including cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary and gastroenterology in addition to promoting aging and geriatric-focused research amongst medical and surgical specialists.
