Medical Devices for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Atrial shunts, left ventricular (LV) expanders, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, and stimulation therapy are currently under development to improve the hemodynamics and symptomatology of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). EDPVR = end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship; ESPVR = end-systolic pressure-volume relationship; LVP = left ventricular pressure; LVV = left ventricular volume.
