Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess which Doppler profile (hepatic vein systolic filling fraction or SVC peak systolic/diastolic ratio) better indicated elevated right atrial pressure (RAP) in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
- - It involved 193 patients, measuring Doppler profiles alongside cardiac catheterization, revealing that both profiles inversely correlated with RAP; however, SVC-S/D provided significantly better diagnostic accuracy than HV-SFF.
- - Findings indicate that SVC-S/D is a more reliable measure for diagnosing elevated RAP compared to HV-SFF, with SVC-S/D showing additional diagnostic value beyond estimated RAP from inferior vena cava morphology.
Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on the exercise capacity or clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Methods And Results: The study enrolled 511 patients with CHF who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) between 2013 and 2018. The primary outcome was a composite of heart failure hospitalization and death.
Less data are available regarding the impact of cardiac power output on exercise capacity or clinical outcome in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The study enrolled 280 consecutive patients with CHF referred for cardiopulmonary exercise testing and right-sided heart catheterization between 2013 and 2018. The primary outcome was composite of heart failure hospitalization or death.

Consecutive 514 patients with CHF referred for CPET at the Hokkaido University Hospital between 2013 and 2018 were identified. The primary outcome was a composite of hospitalization because of worsening heart failure and death.
