Exercise intolerance in HFpEF: arterial stiffness and abnormal left ventricular hemodynamic responses during exercise

Arterial stiffness is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We sought to examine arterial stiffness in HFpEF and hypertension and investigate associations of arterial and left ventricular hemodynamic responses to exercise.
