We have read with interest the published article by Mele et al 1 on a novel
echocardiographic approach to hemodynamic phenotypes which predicts outcome of …

We concur with the comments made by Ozden Tok and Celik 1 regarding our article. 2 Our
model identifies 4 hemodynamic categories that incorporate measures of left ventricular (LV) …

Background: Although in clinical practice heart failure (HF) patients are classified using left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), this categorization is insufficient for prognosis, especially …

Some data demonstrate that subtle impairments of systolic function are independently
associated with incident heart failure (HF). 1 Over the past decade, we have been focusing …

We have greatly enjoyed reading the recently published article by Marai et al.[1]. The
authors retrospectively analyzed 664 patients with heart failure and preserved ejection …

(HFpEF) is a common disease, accounting for 35% to 50% of all HF cases, and its
prevalence is increasing (1). Unfortunately, no specific therapies that result in durable …

Aims Echocardiography has shown to categorize heart failure (HF) patients according to
haemodynamic profiles. Whether left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) …

We would like to better understand how to integrate newer parameters in our strategy to
predict outcome in heart failure (HF) patients. It is a futile exercise to look at new parameters …

Background and Aim Dividing patients with heart failure (HF) based solely on ejection
fraction (EF) may over simplify the hemodynamic states of these patients. We describe a …

Diastolic dysfunction (DD) and left ventricular remodeling (LVR) characterize patients at risk
for heart failure (HF). To assess the prognostic impact of different diastolic function …
