Why the study?
Does arterial stiffness correlate differently with left ventricular function in patients with reduced versus preserved ejection fraction?
Population
75 patients, comprising 44 hypertensive patients with preserved EF and 31 patients with reduced EF.

Differential CAVI-LV correlations by EF status may inform phenotyping; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does arterial stiffness correlate differently with left ventricular function in patients with reduced versus preserved ejection fraction?
Arterial stiffness is more closely correlated with left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with reduced ejection fraction compared to those with preserved ejection fraction.
Noguchi et al. (2011) studied this question.
