Abstract
Neither the decrease in EF among HFrEF patients nor the DD grade in HFpEF patients act as independent predictor for evolving PH. Common independent predictors for evolving PH in both HFrEF and HFpEF patients are TR grade and use of diuretics. Other independent predictors in HFrEF and not HFpEF patients are the presence of diabetes and increased LAV.
