Sex-specific cardiometabolic multimorbidity, metabolic syndrome and left ventricular function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the UK Biobank.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic disturbances play a central role in the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Due to its complexity, HFpEF is a challenging condition to treat, making phenotype-specific disease management a promising approach. However, HFpEF phenotypes are heterogenous and there is a lack of detailed evidence on the different, sex-specific profiles of cardiometabolic...
