TL;DR

In obese HFpEF patients, LA strain is associated with NT-proBNP levels, while atrial stiffness is associated with NT-proBNP and functional capacity, and these parameters provide complementary information on hemodynamic burden and clinical status.

The LEDA Score

Background Diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains challenging because clinical findings may not reflect hemodynamic disease expression. Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of LEDA (Left ventricular concentricity, E/e′, left ventricle-to-left at...

Prognostic Value of the HFpEF-ABA Score Among Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

The HFpEF-ABA score identifies a high-risk phenotype of AS patients undergoing TAVI, characterised by adverse cardiac remodelling, poorer functional status, and increased post-TAVI complications.

Left atrial remodeling and functional maladaptations in obesity: an invasive pressure-volume analysis

In patients undergoing AF ablation, higher BMI is associated with a predominantly load-related pattern of LA remodeling, characterized by larger LA volume and pressures, greater cyclic wall stress, and a rightward shift of the estimated pressure–volume relationship.

Incremental Value of Left Atrial Strain in HFA-PEFF for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

Left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) provides additive diagnostic value beyond the HFA-PEFF score and may reduce the need for noninvasive and invasive stress testing in patients with suspected HFpEF.

Left Atrial Stiffness Index for Refining Diastolic Stress Test Selection in Suspected Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

LASI is a resting echocardiographic marker associated with positive DST and may help refine pre-test selection for DST among patients with suspected HFpEF, particularly those with intermediate HFA-PEFF scores.
