Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the haemodynamic response of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) to non-invasive preload stress through a combination of semi-sitting and passive leg-lifting positions.
- 101 HFrEF patients and 35 healthy controls were tested, revealing that changes in stroke volume index (SVi) during postural stress could help identify patients at higher risk for future cardiovascular events.
- The results suggest this method is an effective and safe way to assess heart function and predict potential risks in HFrEF patients, making it a valuable clinical tool.
