Right ventricular function and anemia in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Multivariate linear regression analysis shows that the degree of anemia, atrial fibrillation, and TR were independently associated with the TAPSE/PASP ratio.ConclusionAnemia in HFpEF is associated with RV dysfunction, and this relationship is not affected by classical risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes.

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

1 Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a crucial parameter in HF assessment and management, although the differences in mortality are little different between HF with LVEF≥50% or HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with post-MI compared with HF with LVEF≤40% or HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
