Quality of Life in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Importance of Obesity, Functional Capacity, and Physical Inactivity

Aims Patient-reported quality of life (QOL) is a highly prognostic and clinically relevant endpoint in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The relationships between QOL and different markers of HF severity remain unclear, particularly as they relate to funct…
