Effect of Caloric Restriction or Aerobic Exercise Training on Peak Oxygen Consumption and Quality of Life in Obese Older Patients With Heart Failure and a Preserved Ejection Fraction in Obese Older Patients With Heart Failure and a Preserved Ejection Fraction

Feb 03, 2022

The most common type of heart failure in elder persons is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and more than 80% of people with such heart failure are overweight or obese.   Exercis...

Hemodynamic Markers of Pulmonary Hypertension and Heart Failure Outcomes in Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Feb 03, 2022

Even though heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common, there are no particular treatments available, probably due to phenotypic heterogeneity. The development of pulmonary hyper...
