PO-03-162 REAL-WORLD TREATMENT PATHWAYS AND OUTCOMES IN A MEDICARE POPULATION WITH SINUS NODE DYSFUNCTION AND HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION

HeartRhythm

Guidelines recommend permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) to improve quality of life. Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have many comorbidities including SND, but the optimal treatment approach for HFpEF with SND is uncertain.

Resynchronising the Heart in Heart Failure

Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Today’s vlog is on the subject of heart failure and in particular on a special type of pacemaker which can make a significant improvement to the quality of life and length of life in patients with heart failure. What is heart failure?

Corvia's RESPONDER-HF Confirmatory Trial Supported by RELIEVE-HF Data

DAIC

RELIEVE-HF failed to meet its primary efficacy endpoint and did not reduce heart failure events or improve quality of life in heart failure patients with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). For more information: www.corviamedical.com If you enjoy this content, please share it with a colleague

Effect of Paced Heart Rate on Quality of Life and Natriuretic Peptides for Stage B or C HFpEF: A Secondary Analysis of the myPACE Trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Abstract Introduction Emerging evidence suggests a beneficial effect of higher heart rates in some patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). No evidence of heterogeneity was found across LV volumes or LVEF for pacemaker-detected AF burden.

Effects of Continuous Accelerated Pacing on Cardiac Structure and Function in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Insights From the myPACE Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction ≥50% is prevalent with few evidence‐based therapies. These changes were paralleled by improvements in heart failure‐related quality of life (myPACE Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire improved by 16.1 points,P<0.001).

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

European Journal of Heart Failure

Increasing severity of obesity is associated with multiple characteristics that may contribute to the development or worsening of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Obesity was associated with more first and recurrent heart failure events. Overall, 60.9% of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2.

Effects of Synchronizing Foot Strike and Cardiac Phase on Exercise Hemodynamics in Patients With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: A Within-Subjects Pilot Study to Fine-Tune Cardio-Locomotor Coupling for Heart Failure

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Despite advances in medical and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), individuals with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) have persistent symptoms, including exercise intolerance. Circulation, Ahead of Print. Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower during diastolic walking (85±12 versus 98±20 mm Hg;P=0.007).CONCLUSIONS:In
