1425 pg/mL [2370], p=0.002), and more atrial fibrillation (54% v 29%, p=0.03) compared to HFpEF without RVD. BMI remained inversely associated with HFpEF-RVD after adjustment for age, sex, and race (p=0.02). HFpEF-RVD trended towards increased all-cause 30-D hospital readmission (34.8% v 19%, p=0.12) and worse survival at 1 year (70% v 87.5%, p=0.06). DA had no significant effect on urine output, weight change, or renal function in HFpEF-RVD; however, DA was associated with shorter hospital length of stay (LOS) in HFpEF-RVD in testing for interaction effects between RVD and DA (p=0.01, Figure ). Conclusion: HFpEF-RVD reflects a sicker subgroup of HFpEF patients. Amongst hospitalized HFpEF, low-dose dopamine was associated with shorter LOS in HFpEF-RVD. Future studies should be performed to find useful therapies in this subgroup of HFpEF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
