Pulse pressure is inversely correlated with arterial compliance.
“Pulse pressure is inversely correlated with arterial compliance, which is frequently impaired in patients with HFpEF, where increases in aortic stiffness contribute to elevation in cardiac filling pressures, especially during exercise24.”
From Effects of tirzepatide on circulatory overload and end-organ damage in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and obesity: a secondary analysis of the SUMMIT trial (2025) · cites this paper as [24]
The Methods (Arterial Waveform Analysis) define total arterial compliance as stroke volume index divided by central pulse pressure, supporting an inverse relationship when stroke volume is held constant. The Results (Arterial Reserve With Submaximal Exercise) report lower compliance in HFpEF and an association between lower compliance and higher filling pressures during exercise. The Discussion (Vascular Stiffening in HFpEF) explicitly says this study cannot prove causality, so the sentence's assertion that increased stiffness contributes to elevated filling pressures is stronger than the evidence establishes. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIncreases in aortic stiffness contribute to elevation in cardiac filling pressures, especially during exercise, in patients with HFpEF.

From Effects of tirzepatide on circulatory overload and end-organ damage in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and obesity: a secondary analysis of the SUMMIT trial (2025) · cites this paper as [24]
The Discussion section reports that arterial stiffening in HFpEF was associated with abnormal hemodynamics, including filling pressures measured during exercise, and argues that it likely plays an important role. It also explicitly says the study cannot prove causality, so the claim that stiffness contributes to elevated filling pressures is stronger than the evidence establishes.

“Acute administration of inorganic nitrite (or its precursor nitrate) decreases conduit vessel stiffness in healthy volunteers (12,34), enhances exercise capacity and vasodilation in HFpEF patients (13,14,35,36), and improves rest and exercise hemodynamics in HFpEF patients (13,14,37).”

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.
