Heart Fail Clin. 2025 Jan;21(1):27-34. doi: 10.1016/j.hfc.2024.08.003. Epub 2024 Sep 30.

Abstract

Exercise intolerance is common in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This review will discuss the utility of exercise hemodynamics under both diagnostic and prognostic circumstances and highlight challenges associated with making and interpreting measures taken during exercise.

Keywords: Exercise; HFpEF; Hemodynamics; Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
