Title: | Non-invasive imaging in acute decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction | Authors: | DHONT, Sebastiaan VERBRUGGE, Frederik VERWERFT, Jan BERTRAND, Philippe |
Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | OXFORD UNIV PRESS | Source: | European Heart Journal-Acute Cardiovascular Care, | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | Non-invasive imaging plays an increasingly important role in emergency medicine, given the trend towards smaller, portable ultrasound devices, the integration of ultrasound imaging across diverse medical disciplines, and the growing evidence supporting its clinical benefits for the patient. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) provides a compelling illustration of the impactful role that imaging plays in distinguishing diverse clinical presentations of heart failure with numerous associated comorbidities, including pulmonary, renal, or hepatic diseases. While a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction might misguide the clinician away from diagnosing cardiac disease, there are several clues provided by cardiac, vascular, and lung ultrasonography, as well as other imaging modalities, to rapidly identify (decompensated) HFpEF. Congestion remains the primary reason why patients with heart failure (irrespective of ejection fraction) seek emergency care. Furthermore, comprehensive phenotyping is becoming increasingly important, considering the development of targeted treatments for conditions exhibiting HFpEF physiology, such as cardiac amyloidosis. Timely recognition in such cases has lasting implications for long-term outcomes. | Notes: | Bertrand, PB (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Fac Med & Life Sci, LCRC, Agoralaan, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium.; Bertrand, PB (corresponding author), Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg, Dept Cardiol, Synaps Pk 1, B-3600 Genk, Belgium.; Bertrand, PB (corresponding author), Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg, Dept Future Hlth, Synaps Pk 1, B-3600 Genk, Belgium. philippe.bertrand@zol.be |
