Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. fold higher risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (95% CI 1.30 m/s had a 2.10-fold

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

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 2 Therefore, early identification of HF in high-risk populations, particularly post-MI, is essential for improving outcomes.

PO-02-030 OUTCOMES AMONG PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION (HFPEF) AND CONCOMITANT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF) TREATED WITH CATHETER ABLATION VERSUS ANTIARRHYTHMIC DRUGS

HeartRhythm

Roughly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist and share similar risk factors.

Multi-modal characterisation of early-stage, subclinical cardiac deterioration in patients with type 2 diabetes

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and cardiac arrhythmias. Precursors of these complications, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, remain inc.

PO-07-197 ARRHYTHMIC RISK STRATIFICATION IN POST-MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION: LONG-TERM OUTCOMES IN PRESERVE EF STUDY

HeartRhythm

The PRESERVE EF study proposed a two-step algorithm for risk stratification in post-myocardial infarction patients with mid-range and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Hypertensive pregnancy disorder, an under‐recognized women specific risk factor for heart failure?

European Journal of Heart Failure

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy as a risk factor for heart failure. Shortly after delivery, women who experienced HDP express increased risk of classic CV risk factors such as hypertension, renal disease, abnormal lipid profile, and diabetes.
