Evolving role of myocardial fibrosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex clinical diagnosis with a heterogeneous pathophysiology and clinical presentation. The hallmark of HFpEF is diastolic dysfunction associated with left ventricular remodeling and fibrosis.

Prevalence and Prognostic Value of the Novel Consensus Definition of Metabolic Hyperferritinemia in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Across Different Glucose Metabolism States

Journal of the American Heart Association

Among the 7498 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (with an average age of 70.23±10.85 MHF is defined as an elevation in serum ferritin accompanied by metabolic dysfunction, and is categorized into different grades based on ferritin levels. The outcome of the study is MACEs. and Grade 3 for 2.9%.
