Impact of severe obesity on exercise performance in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Abstract Background Obesity plays an important role in functional impairment in HFpEF. The mechanisms underlying decreased functional capacity in obese HFpEF are not clear. We assessed the cardiac and peripheral determinants of exercise performance in HFpEF patients with class 2 obesity in the uprig...
