Different prognostic associations of beta-blockers and diuretics in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with versus without high blood pressure

This study compared the risk factors for and prognostic impacts of treatments on in-hospital mortality between HFpEF patients with (+) and without (–) high blood pressure (HBP). Methods: Data on 2238 consecutive HFpEF patients were extracted from Tokyo CCU Network data registry and analysed. HFpEF was defined as an ejection fraction greater than or equal to 50%; HBP was defined as elevated systolic blood pressure (>140 mmHg) at admission. Potential risk factors for in-hospital mortality were selected by univariate analyses and those with P
