Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: from echocardiographic characteristics to a cardiovascular damage score in a high-risk hypertensive population
At least one in five hypertensive patients, referred to an outpatient echocardiographic examination, has C-HMOD compatible with a high-risk category of HFpEF and have a significant increase in V-HMOD. This reinforces the notion that arterial hypertension and HFpEF are not two distinctly separate conditions but a continuum of pathophysiologic alterations.
