Right ventricular function and anemia in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The level of hemoglobin (Hb) had a weak negative linear correlation with NT-pro-BNP (log-transform, r = 0.30, P < 0.0001) and a positively correlation with the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) ratio (r = 0.44, P < 0.0001).

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Phenotype Is Associated With Early Symptom Onset in Aortic Stenosis and Residual Symptoms After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAortic stenosis can lead to cardiac adaptations and symptoms similar to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. Methods and ResultsThis retrospective cohort study included 469 patients with moderate aortic stenosis.

EN-482891-003 SUSTAINED REDUCTION IN LEFT HEART FILLING PRESSURES IN PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION USING A RHYTHM CONTROL STRATEGY INCORPORATING CATHETER ABLATION

HeartRhythm

Left atrial and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) elevation can reflect severity and dynamic status of heart failure (HF) in HF with preserved ejection fraction (pEF). Atrial fibrillation (AF) worsens HFpEF progression and pump failure, but catheter ablation can restore rhythm control in this population.

Left ventricular to left arial volume ratio in the assessment of filling pressure in patients with dyspnoea and preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

This study investigates the utility of echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) to left atrial (LA) volume ratio in estimating the resting FP in patients with dyspnoea and preserved ejection fraction (EF). Echocardiographic data were obtained 1.5 ± 1.0 h h after cardiac catheterisation.

Finerenone, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS‐HF trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status.
