Key result
Left ventricular mass and LA size were independently associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction.
Why the study?
The prevalence and prognostic significance of alterations in cardiac structure and function in patients with HFPEF were not fully characterized.
Observational
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Structural remodeling and diastolic dysfunction are prevalent in HFpEF and independently predict increased morbidity and mortality, supporting their use in diagnostic and prognostic criteria.

Zile et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Heart Failure and a Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFPEF). Alterations in cardiac structure and function (left ventricular mass and LA size) was evaluated on Morbidity and mortality. Left ventricular mass and LA size were independently associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction.
