February 20, 2017Aortic Waveform Analysis to Individualize Treatment in Heart Failure
A team led by Peter Wohlfahrt from the Mayo Clinic conducted the first longitudinal trial in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients where changes in central hemodynamics were tracked and related to serial changes of submaximal exercise capacity. The finding suggests the use of central aortic waveforms to be a more robust and sensitive assessment of cardiac load, and tailoring vasoactive medicines based on an individual’s arterial afterload may improve clinical outcomes in heart failure.
