Key result
Restrictive and mixed pulmonary dysfunction independently predicted cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, but not in those with reduced ejection fraction.
Why the study?
Does abnormal pulmonary function predict cardiovascular events in patients with HFpEF?
Does abnormal pulmonary function predict cardiovascular events in patients with HFpEF?
Abnormal pulmonary function tests, specifically restrictive and mixed patterns, serve as independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with HFpEF, highlighting the prognostic importance of heart-lung interactions.

Takeda et al. (2021) conducted an editorial in Acute decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Abnormal pulmonary function tests (restrictive and mixed patterns) vs. Normal pulmonary function was evaluated on Cardiovascular events. Restrictive and mixed pulmonary dysfunction independently predicted cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, but not in those with reduced ejection fraction.
