948-46 Preserved Cardiac Baroreflex Control of Renal Cortical Blood Flow in Advanced Heart Failure Patients: A Positron Emission Tomography Study [PDF]

, 1995
Cardiac baroreflex (CBR) control of forearm blood flow (FBF) is blunted or reversed in humans with heart failure (HF). but little is known about CBR control of renal cortical blood flow (RCBF) in HF due to technical limitations.

Plasma metabolomics identifies signatures that distinguish heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Two general phenotypes of heart failure (HF) are recognized: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with preserved EF (HFpEF). To develop phenotype‐specific approaches to treatment, distinguishing biomarkers are needed. The goal of this study was to utilize quantitative metabolomics on a large, diverse population to replicate and ...
