Distinguishing Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction from Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Phenomics Approach

Eur J Heart FailPublished

  • Cross-sectional study
  • subcohort of the prospective SHOP cohort
  • age- and sex-matched controls

Authors' conclusion

We identified pathophysiological mechanisms related to increased cardiac wall thickness parameters and potentially druggable inflammatory markers from the TNFRSF in HFpEF.

Study context

Population
Patients with HF and controls without HF from the Singapore Heart Failure Outcomes and Phenotypes (SHOP) cohort; median age 65 years, 50% women
