Gender disparities in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Female patients showed a lower prevalence rate of pre-existing coronary artery disease (48% vs. 75%, p  < 0.001) and cardiomyopathy (17% vs. 34%, p  = 0.01) compared with the male patients, while the mean age and prevalence rate of other cardiovascular risk factors were balanced.

Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with increasing obesity have higher right- and left-sided ventricular filling pressures, increased cardiac output (CO), lower 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and worse Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2.

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. BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.

Heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: Insights from DELIVER

European Journal of Heart Failure

BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. ABSTRACT Aim Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common in heart failure with a mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF) and is associated with worse outcomes.
