Effect of Aldosterone Antagonism on  Exercise Tolerance in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
BackgroundImpaired functional capacity is a hallmark of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Despite the association of HFpEF with reduced myocardial compliance attributed to fibrosis, spironolactone has not been shown to alter outcomes —perhaps reflecting the heterogeneity of underlying pathological mechanisms.ObjectivesThe authors sought to identify improvement in exercise capacity with spironolactone in the subset of patients with HFpEF with exercise-induced increase in ratio between early mitral inflow velocity and mitral annular early diastolic velocity (E/e ′) reflecting elevation...
