Key result
Diastolic dysfunction in HFpEF can lead to postcapillary PH and RV systolic failure.
Why the study?
Patients with HFpEF and diastolic dysfunction may develop postcapillary pulmonary hypertension leading to RV systolic failure, an underrecognized clinical entity without current randomized trials or guidelines for management.

May prompt PH and RV assessment in HFpEF; leaves open targeted interventions.
Highlights the underrecognized clinical entity of right ventricular systolic failure resulting from postcapillary pulmonary hypertension in patients with HFpEF.
Zakir et al. (2007) conducted a review in Right ventricular failure in patients with preserved ejection fraction and diastolic dysfunction. Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and diastolic dysfunction may develop postcapillary pulmonary hypertension leading to right ventricular systolic failure.
