Clinical implications of Pre-test probability of HFpEF on Outcomes in Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews a recent study exploring the clinical overlap between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and Group 1 pulmonary hypertension. The study identifies a subset of patients with pulmonary hypertension who have a higher risk of heart failure and worse outcomes, emphasizing the need for further investigation into whether pulmonary hypertension therapies could improve prognosis in these patients.
