Hypertension-Driven Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in Women: Sex-Specific Cardiac Remodeling and Clinical Outcomes

Key Points

• To explore the relationship between hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction specifically in women.
• Evaluated women diagnosed with hypertension-driven heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
• Assessed cardiac remodeling metrics and clinical outcomes over a defined follow-up period.
• Utilized standardized diagnostic criteria to categorize heart failure severity.
• Identified significant differences in cardiac remodeling characteristics in women compared to men.
• Outcomes showed a higher incidence of hospitalizations in women with preserved ejection fraction, link to hypertension severity.
• Demonstrated a trend of worsening clinical outcomes associated with increased diastolic dysfunction.
