We know that systolic reserve is reduced in #HFpEF; but can systolic reserve help in the diagnosis🤔? 22 pts with simultaneous #iCPET and #ExerciseEchocardiography: Elevated
exPAWP (≥25 mmHg = elevate LVFP) was present in 14 patients, and was best identified by peak septal systolic annular velocity <9.5 cm/s (exS’) with an AUC of 0.97
