This review evaluated ventricular-arterial function at baseline and with exercise stress in HFpEF, showing that rather than being to one discrete pathophysiology, HFpEF is caused by global limitation in cardiovascular reserve affecting multiple domains of function.

This large series from the Strong Heart Study examined the association between adiposity and left ventricular remodeling in men and women. The authors found that adipose mass is greater in women than men in any weight category, and that obese women had greater left ventricular mass than obese men.
