Arterial Stiffening as a Predictor for Diastolic Cardiac Dysfunction and HFpEF
NCT06208007 · tracked via the Priya Life Science Germany tracker
Condition(s) studied
Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection FractionCardiovascular Morbidity
Study summary
Patients at risk for developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) will undergo a structured clinical assessment, transthoracic echocardiography and pulse-wave analysis to investigate the association of arterial stiffening and the development of cardiac diastolic dysfuntion and HFpEF.
