The vasculature in HFpEF vs HFrEF: differences in contractile protein expression produce distinct phenotypes
Both heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) and preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction are associated with abnormalities of the vasculature, including a resting vasoconstriction and a decrease in sensitivity to nitric oxide (NO) mediated vasodilation. Vascular tone is controlled by the expression and activ...
