Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With Heart Failure: Characterization of Patterns in HFrEF Versus HFpEF

Circulation: Heart Failure

BACKGROUND:Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is involved in heart failure (HF) onset and progression, independently of HF phenotype and obstructive coronary artery disease. CMD was invasively assessed by continuous intracoronary thermodilution and defined as coronary flow reserve <2.5.

Can heart failure phenotypes be predicted by cardiac remodelling peripartum or postpartum?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In the long term, a history of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia significantly increases the risk of future cardiovascular disease including chronic hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke.

Expert Perspective: The Obesity Paradox with Salvatore Carbone, PhD

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

4] More recently, at least at the epidemiologic level, the obesity paradox has been confirmed in both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but also in those with coronary heart disease.

Highlights of ACC 2024

Cardiology Update

STEP-HFpEF DM 5 ( NCT04916470 ) explored the effects of semaglutide in obesity-related HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes. The results advocate for considering PCI as a treatment option for such plaques, potentially expanding the indications for PCI in coronary artery disease management.
