Zusammenfassung

Purpose: Pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) is associated with poor outcome. According to the diastolic pressure gradient (DPG) with a cut-off of 7 mmHg, affected patients can be further sub-classified into isolated postcapillary PH (Ipc-PH) and combined pre- and pc-PH (Cpc-PH). However, the clinical significance and prognostic value of DPG remains to be elucidated. Methods: Patients with HFpEF diagnosed according to current ESC guidelines were enrolled in our prospective registry. Borderline PH was defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) between…
