Prevalence of diastolic heart failure (DHF) is 30-74 % (mean 45 %). Вecause of nonspecific clinical symptoms diagnostics is difficult. Presence of DHF can be confirmed by echocardiography. However a simple, cheap test, which could be helpful in diagnostics of DHF, is necessary. Evaluation of plasma natriuretic peptides is common. Nevertheless, search of new biomarkers, which can give more information on prognosis and efficacy of therapy, is going on. Use of the most sensitive and specific biomarkers allow to find individual approach to each patient.
