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).

Right Ventricular?Vascular Uncoupling Predicts Pulmonary Hypertension in Clinically Diagnosed Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and it is a strong predictor of adverse outcomes. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. TAPSE/PASP and TAS’/PASP can be useful parameters to detect PH in patients with HFpEF.

Biatrial Myopathy in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

ABSTRACT Background Left atrial (LA) myopathy is increasingly recognized as an important phenotypic trait in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). There were 94 patients with events over a median follow-up of 2.9 (IQR 2.92, p = 0.01).

Prevalence and prognostic significance of pulmonary hypertension in adults with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Open Heart

Aims Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) appears to be very common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction but details on its prevalence, severity and prognostic implications have not been well defined.
