Pathophysiology of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Youn, Jong-Chan, Ahn, Yuran, Jung, Hae Ok·2021·Heart Failure Clinics

Abstract

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major public health problem that affects half of all patients with HF. It is rising in prevalence, is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and has very few effective treatments. HFpEF is currently understood as a heterogeneous syndrome originating from the interplay of cardiac and extracardiac abnormalities. The most important pathophysiology in patients with HFpEF is diastolic dysfunction, which presents with impairments in relaxation or increases in chamber stiffness that lead to an increase in left ventricular filling pressures at rest or during exercise that causes dyspnea.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The essence of HFpEF pathophysiology is the increase of LV filling pressure, meaning that the heart can adequately pump the blood at expense of an elevation of cardiac filling pressures that, if disproportionate during exercise or at rest, are responsible of dyspnea.

    “Even if the diastolic dysfunction is the hemodynamic feature of HFpEF, the essence of its pathophysiology is the increase of LV filling pressure, meaning that the heart can adequately pump the blood at expense of an elevation of cardiac filling pressures that, if disproportionate during exercise or at rest, are responsible of dyspnea [102,103].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
