Running on empty: Factors underpinning impaired cardiac output reserve in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38421268/
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is frequently attributed etiologically to an underlying left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, although its pathophysiology is far more complex and can exhibit significant...
HFpEF involves diverse mechanisms impairing cardiac output reserve, including LV diastolic/systolic dysfunction, vascular stiffness, atrial and right ventricular abnormalities, valve disease, and chronotropic issues, supporting phenotype-guided, personalized therapeutic strategies.
