Exercise Intolerance in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Arterial Stiffness and Aabnormal 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.
