Exercise-induced changes in pulmonary artery wedge pressure in adults post-Fontan versus heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and non-cardiac dyspnoea

Serial changes in pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and PAWP to Qs slopes in adult Fontan patients, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and non-cardiac dyspnoea (NCD) (p-values in red correspond to differences between Fontan and HFpEF patients while those in gray correspond to differences between Fontan and NCD for each phase).

Long-term outcomes following catheter ablation versus medical therapy in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Long-term outcomes following catheter ablation versus medical therapy in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

In intention-to-treat analyses, early routine catheter ablation (CA) resulted in similar long-term outcomes to a delayed selective CA strategy in patients with persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) enrolled in the ARC-HF and CAMTAF clinical trials. Medical therapy refers to pharmacological rate control. Kaplan–Meier survival curves shown for all-cause death (left) and a composite outcome of all-cause death or cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization (right). CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; IQR, interquartile range; NYHA, New York Heart Association.
