JHLT: The Podcast: Unmasking Occult HFpEF in Pulmonary Hypertension
Kicking off the month on JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite Dr. Ayumi Goda, from the Kyorin University Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, to discuss her team’s paper, "Prevalence of occult HFpEF and age-specific efficacy of passive leg raise in pulmonary hypertension."
You can also stream the podcast on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and anywhere else you get podcasts.
In the episode, you'll hear about:
- How clinical observations led to the idea for a study on whether the passive leg raise could unmask occult HFpEF
- The potential diagnostic value of the passive leg raise in differing patient populations
- Age-specific cutoffs that may influence what kind of testing to use in clinical practice
