Comprehensive Exploration of Unexplained Dyspnoea in Subjects with Normal Ejection Fraction and Low Natriuretic Peptides
The most common causes of unexplained exertional dyspnoea in patients without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides are peripheral deconditioning, HFpEF and hyperventilation. Studying patients during exercise allows for getting more data about pathophysiology and improving patient phenotyping and management. Early unmasking of HFpEF using exercise echocardiography and/or CPX and initiation of treatment could prevent hospitalizations for acute heart failure. Although using exercise testing, many patients could not be classified according to their diagnosis, and this reinforces the need to better define exercise diagnostic criteria.
