This expert consensus document from the #EACVI provides recommendations regarding how to determine elevated LV filling pressure in the setting of suspected #HFpEF and how to use multimodality imaging to determine specific aetiologies in patients with HFpEF @EACVIPresident
📌Mechanisms of LV diastolic dysfunction include impaired relaxation, attenuated restoring forces, and increased passive elastic stiffness that leads to elevated LV filling pressure
📌The presence of LV hypertrophy and dilated LA provides support for the #HFpEF diagnosis
Very insightful presentation by @JavedButler1 on New evidence from meta-analyses ‒ lessons to learn on the benefits of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in HF
A statistically significant 13% lower risk among those treated with finerenone, a benefit that was driven by a reduction in HHF (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.56-0.90)
The combined patient-level analysis of FIGARO-DKD and FIDELITY-DKD included 13,171 patients with #T2DM of whom 40% had preserved kidney function as defined by the eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 but elevated UACR
