Early Renal Denervation Attenuates Cardiac Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundThe renal sympathetic nervous system modulates systemic blood pressure, cardiac performance, and renal function. Pathological increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity contribute to the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).We

Sympathetic Neural Control at Rest and During the Cold Pressor Test in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Hypertension Journal

Background:We tested the hypothesis that patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) would have greater muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) at rest and sympathetic reactivity during a cold pressor test compared with non–heart failure controls.

Developing a contemporary community clinic for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction within the current National Health Service model

Open Heart

While follow-up practices were similar, the HFpEF clinic delivered significantly more interventions on lifestyle changes, blood pressure and heart rate control (p<0.0001) compared with the general clinic. years, 55% female and a high prevalence of cardiometabolic comorbidities).

Sympathetic Response to 1-Leg Cycling Exercise Predicts Exercise Capacity in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Circulation: Heart Failure

Whether similar sympathoexcitatory responses are present in heart failure with preserved EF (HFpEF) and relate to VO2peakare unknown.METHODS:In 13 patients with HFpEF (706 years), 17 comorbidity-matched controls (CMC; 678 years), and 18 healthy controls (658 years), we measured heart rate, blood pressure, and MSNA (microneurography) during (1) 7-minute (..)

PO-04-036 REAL-TIME CLOSED-LOOP REGULATION OF PERMANENT PACING RATE USING EXTERNAL HOME BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS IN PATIENTS WITH HFPEF AND HYPERTENSION: A FIRST-IN-MAN REPORT

HeartRhythm

Introduction: Patients with ‘heart failure with preserved ejection fraction’ (HFpEF) frequently manifest chronotropic incompetence as well as hypertension (HTN). Cardiac pacing may improve clinical outcomes in these patients. To date, pacing has not been regulated by an external hemodynamic input.

Efficacy and safety of angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibition in heart failure patients with end‐stage kidney disease on maintenance dialysis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

European Journal of Heart Failure

Meta-analysis on the main outcomes of angiotensin receptorneprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) in heart failure (HF) patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis. Abstract Aims Angiotensin receptorneprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) has played an increasingly important role in the management of heart failure (HF).
