HF preserved EF (HFpEF) is not common in children but have been reported in patients with congenital heart disease and open heart surgery. In adult group, acute myocarditis can be presented as HFpEF. We report the HFpEF in children without underlying congenital heart disease, probably associated with acute myocarditis.
