Atrial Fibrillation Ablation for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2213177923000379?via=ihub
Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) frequently develop atrial fibrillation (AF). There are no randomized trials exami...
Conclusions: AF ablation improves invasive exercise hemodynamic parameters, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with concomitant AF and HFpEF.
Epicardial adipose tissue density is a better predictor of cardiometabolic risk in HFpEF patients: a prospective cohort study - Cardiovascular Diabetology
Source : https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12933-023-01778-8
Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation is associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The correlation between EAT density and cardiometabolic...
Conclusions: EAT density was an independent impact factor of cardiometabolic risk in HFpEF. EAT density might have better predictive value than EAT volume for metabolic syndrome and it might have prognostic value in patients with HFpEF.
Meaning: Results suggest that adding SGLT2-I therapy is intermediate or low value in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Distinct associations between post-discharge cognitive change patterns and 1-year outcomes in patients hospitalized for heart failure

Among the patients hospitalized for HF who experienced cognitive impairment before discharge, 48.5% had transient cognitive impairment at 1 month after discharge. Among patients with normal cognition before discharge, 13.8%...
Conclusions: Acute HF substantially affects short-term cognition. Patients who have developed new-onset cognitive impairment have an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Monitoring cognition is necessary, particularly in high-risk patients.
