NIRS Analysis of Periodic Breathing in Heart Failure: Unraveling Ventilation-Perfusion Dynamics
Anno:
2025
Background: Periodic breathing (PB) during exercise involves cyclic fluctuations in minute ventilation, oxygen uptake (V̇O2), and carbon dioxide elimination (V̇CO2). It may persist throughout exercise or only appear initially and is linked to poor prognosis in heart failure (HF) patients, especially when concurrent with sleep-related PB. The effect of…
LEFT ATRIAL FILLING INDEX IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE AND REDUCED EJECTION FRACTION: INSIGHTS FROM INVASIVE HAEMODYNAMIC ASSESSMENT AND ADVANCED ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Anno:
2025
Background. Haemodynamics of patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is often characterised by increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. Non-invasive estimation of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is useful in the clinical management of these patients. The left atrial (LA) filling index could help estimate…
CHANGES IN INVASIVE HAEMODYNAMICS AND LEFT ATRIAL FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE ACCORDING TO HAEMODYNAMIC CONDITIONS
Anno:
2025
Background. Left atrial (LA) function is tightly interrelated with the haemodynamic conditions in patients with heart failure (HF). Optimisation of left ventricular (LV) haemodynamics may improve LA-LV coupling, leading to enhanced cardiac function and reduced LV filling pressures. Methods. Consecutive HF with reduced ejection fraction patients were prospectively enrolled….
Non-Invasive Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure Estimation in Patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction: Comparison of Echocardiography and Right Heart Catheterization.
Anno:
2025
Background: The assessment of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) is pivotal in patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) to guide medical treatment. Non-invasive echocardiography formulas to determine LVFP have been proposed, but all of them lack standardization and they have been mostly applied to HF with…
