The transition from hypertension to hypertensive heart disease and heart failure: the PREFERS Hypertension study

ConclusionsWe aim to study the timeline and transition from uncomplicated hypertension to HHD and HFpEF. In order to identify subjects prone to develop HHD and HFpEF, we want to find biomarkers and cardiac imaging variables to explain disease progression. Ultimately, we aim at finding new pathways to prevent HFpEF.
