The clinical role and educational preparation of heart failure nurses across Europe. HF, heart failure; HFN, heart failure nurse; MDT, multidisciplinary team. Most nurses, 78% ( n = 395) worked within a hospital outpatient setting, and 51% ( n = 431) had access to a specialized HF multidisciplinary team.

Use of separate rule-in and rule-out diagnostic thresholds stratified by BMI reduces miscategorization and can guide more appropriate use of exercise testing for possible HFpEF. In our study, NT-proBNP provided little value in those with AF and dyspnea because the presence of AF is by itself a robust biomarker of HFpEF.

Left ventricular volume and maximal functional capacity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Size matters

European Journal of Heart Failure

DECEMBER 30, 2024

HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Whether left ventricular size predicts functional capacity in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unclear. Conclusions In stable outpatients with HFpEF, a smaller iLVEDV was associated with a lower maximal functional capacity.
