Why the study?
Is serum total bilirubin level associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Is serum total bilirubin level associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Serum total bilirubin levels are negatively correlated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in HFpEF patients, suggesting a potential mechanistic link.
Association in cross-sectional data does not imply causality; leaves open bilirubin as potential HFpEF biomarker or target.
TB level was negatively correlated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in heart failure patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, which might provide a new insight into the complicated mechanisms of heart failure with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
