The Hospitalization Burden and Post-Hospitalization Mortality Risk in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

The Hospitalization Burden and Post-Hospitalization Mortality Risk in Heart€Failure With Preserved Ejection€Fraction

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction and the causes of hospitalization and post-hospitalization mortality. BACKGROUND Although hospitalizations in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction are common, there are limited data from clinical trials on the causes of admission and the influence of ho...

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Symptomatic heart failure, despite preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, is a well-recognized phenomenon. This manifestation of diastolic dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and can be attributed to a variety of pathogeneses, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, infiltrative processes, and obesity. Unlike in systolic heart failure, where LV ejecti...

[Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)].

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

1. Demonstrate the association between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and survival. 2. Given a patient with heart failure (HF), recognize HFpEF on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms, physical examination, echocardiography, and radiographic findings. 3. Classify patients at high risk of hospitalization and mortality through assessing risk factors, clinical presentat...
