Sarcopenic Obesity and the Pathogenesis of Exercise Intolerance in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the most common form of heart failure (HF) in older adults. The primary chronic symptom in patients with HFpEF, even when well compensated, is severe e...

Open AccessReduced peripheral arterial blood flow with preserved cardiac output during submaximal bicycle exercise in elderly heart failure
Older heart failure (HF) patients exhibit exercise intolerance during activities of daily living. We hypothesized that reduced lower extremity blood flow (LBF) due to reduced forward cardiac output would contr...

Open AccessAdverse effect of increased left ventricular wall thickness on five year outcomes of patients with negative dobutamine stress
To determine if patients without dobutamine induced left ventricular wall motion abnormalities (WMA) but an increased LV end-diastolic wall thickness (EDWT) exhibit a favorable cardiac prognosis.
