Hypovolemia and reduced hemoglobin mass in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction

Abstract A fundamental tenet of heart failure (HF) pathophysiology hinges on a propensity for fluid retention leading to blood volume (BV) expansion and hemodilution. Whether this can be applied to heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains uncertain. The present study s...
