In this context, cardiology is facing a complicated challenge: cardiologists must take care of patients with cardiovascular diseases who have also complex comorbidities and are required to extend their knowledge beyond the specific, sometimes super-specialistic, cardiovascular field, to avoid fragmentation, redundancy, and potential conflicts in the diagnostic-therapeutic care pathways.

  • HFpEF is increasingly prevalent, influenced by longer life expectancies and rising health issues like diabetes and obesity, suggesting it's part of a wider cardio-nephro-metabolic syndrome.
  • The Cardiovascular Observatory of Friuli-Venezia Giulia plays a crucial role in identifying and managing HFpEF patients, highlighting the need for tailored therapeutic approaches, particularly with the emerging role of SGLT2i in treatment guidelines.
