Abstract
Traditionally, left ventricular systolic dysfunction (sHF) and valvular disorders have been implicated in precipitating pulmonary hypertension (sHF-PH). Recently, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a disease whose prevalence rises with age, has been recognized as a leading cause of PH (HFpEF-PH). However, data is limited comparing the natural history of these two etiologies. We sought to elucidate morbidity and mortality through 5 years of severe HFpEF-PH compared with sHF-PH in a large medical center in New York City.
