This article reviews the available evidence from observational studies concerning the effect of statin therapy in patients who have heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (diastolic heart failure). Observational studies suggest that statin therapy is associated with lower mortality in patients who have diastolic heart failure. These results emphasize the need for a randomized study of the effect of statins in diastolic heart failure. Until the results of such studies are available, it is recommended to use statins in patients with diastolic heart failure who otherwise have an indication for statin therapy.
