Association of mild kidney dysfunction with diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ConclusionsBoth mild and moderate kidney dysfunction are independently associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction parameters and HFpEF.

Considering mild-to-moderate kidney dysfunction as risk factor for HFpEF may help identify high-risk groups benefiting most from early intervention.
