Key result
CMR-assessed right ventricular systolic dysfunction is linked to increased cardiac events in HFpEF.
Why the study?
Does right ventricular systolic dysfunction assessed by CMR predict cardiac events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Cohort (n=171)
Does right ventricular systolic dysfunction assessed by CMR predict cardiac events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
p-value: p=<0.001
Right ventricular systolic dysfunction assessed by CMR is an independent predictor of mortality and clinical events in patients with HFpEF, providing a useful tool for risk stratification.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support CMR RV assessment for HFpEF risk stratification; leaves open prospective validation and therapeutic implications.
Aschauer et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (n=171). Right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) by CMR vs. No RVSD was evaluated on Cardiac events (p=<0.001). Right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVEF <45%) assessed by CMR was independently associated with cardiac events in patients with HFpEF (P<0.001).
