Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. fold higher risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (95% CI 1.30 m/s had a 2.10-fold

Impact of HFpEF on Ablation Outcomes; PVI Only Ablation in HFrEF?

American College of Cardiology

Patients who undergo catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib) who also have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) experienced a greater benefit from ablation in terms of clinical outcome, AFib recurrence and functional status, according to findings from the CABANA trial.

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

1 Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a crucial parameter in HF assessment and management, although the differences in mortality are little different between HF with LVEF≥50% or HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with post-MI compared with HF with LVEF≤40% or HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Catheter Ablation Versus Antiarrhythmic Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

HeartRhythm

Clinical outcomes among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) treated with catheter ablation (CA) versus antiarrhythmic therapy (AAT) are not well-known.

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.

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Heart Failure: Difference in 3-Year Outcomes between Reduced and Preserved Ejection Fraction

HeartRhythm

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with heart failure (HF). The coexistence of these conditions can further induce structural changes and result in worsened outcomes such as stroke, HF decompensation, poorly controlled AF, and mortality [1].

Prevalence of Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation in HFpEF

American College of Cardiology

What is the prevalence of subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and how does it impact outcomes?
