Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation: clinical management in the context of recent therapeutic advances in heart failure and electrophysiology

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) have emerged as major age-related epidemics within cardiology.

Evidence-Based Application of Natriuretic Peptides in the Evaluation of Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in the Ambulatory Outpatient Setting

Circulation

Optimal NT-proBNP cut points for HFpEF rule out (optimizing sensitivity) and rule in (optimizing specificity) were derived and tested, stratified by obesity and atrial fibrillation. In our study, NT-proBNP provided little value in those with AF and dyspnea because the presence of AF is by itself a robust biomarker of HFpEF.

BackgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coincide. g/m2, P = 0.027), reduced distance in the 6-min-walk-test (median: 453 m vs. 527 m, P = 0.008) and higher left atrial pressures (median: 14.0 mmHg Forty-two were female. ml/m2 vs. 25.8 ml/m2,
