Evidence-Based Application of Natriuretic Peptides in the Evaluation of Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in the Ambulatory Outpatient Setting

Circulation

Optimal NT-proBNP cut points for HFpEF rule out (optimizing sensitivity) and rule in (optimizing specificity) were derived and tested, stratified by obesity and atrial fibrillation. Circulation, Ahead of Print.

V-Wave to Present Late-Breaking Data from Pivotal RELIEVE-HF Study at American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session and Expo

DAIC

The primary effectiveness endpoint was a composite of death, heart transplant/left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, HF hospitalization, outpatient HF worsening, and quality of life. HFpEF is HF with preserved ejection fraction in which pressure builds up in the heart and lungs due to a stiffened left ventricle.
