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).

Efficacy and limitation of nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Low voltage area (LVA) was defined as an area with a bipolar electrogram of 5% of the total left atrial surface.

Biatrial Myopathy in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

ABSTRACT Background Left atrial (LA) myopathy is increasingly recognized as an important phenotypic trait in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Prevalence and prognostic significance of pulmonary hypertension in adults with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Open Heart

Aims Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) appears to be very common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction but details on its prevalence, severity and prognostic implications have not been well defined. Adjusted risk (HR) of mortality increased 1.28-fold fold (95% CI 1.15 to 1.41), 1.51-fold fold (95% CI 1.38 to 1.65) and 3.47-fold
