Evaluation of the Cardiac and Metabolic Effects of Dapagliflozin in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the CAMEO-DAPA trial was to assess whether dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), affects rest and exercise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The level of hemoglobin (Hb) had a weak negative linear correlation with NT-pro-BNP (log-transform, r = 0.30, P < 0.0001) and a positively correlation with the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) ratio (r = 0.44, P < 0.0001).

Heart Failure in Zero Gravity—External Constraint and Cardiac Hemodynamics

JAMA Cardiology

In this case series study, pulmonary artery systolic, diastolic, and mean pressures of 2 participants with obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction were measured at zero gravity during parabolic flight to assess the effect of external constraint on left ventricular filling pressures.
