The health burden of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is increasingly recognized. Despite improvements in diagnostic algorithms and established knowledge on the clinical trajectory, effective treatment options for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction remain limited, mainly because of the high mechanistic heterogeneity. Diagnostic scores, big data, and phenomapping categorization are proposed as key steps needed for progress. In the meantime, advancements in imaging techniques combined to high-fidelity pressure signaling analysis have uncovered right ventricular dysfunction as a mediator of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction progression and as major independent determinant of poor outcome. This review summarizes the current understanding of the pathophysiology of right ventricular dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction covering the different right heart phenotypes and offering perspectives on new treatments targeting the right ventricle in its function and geometry.

Introduction: There is a lack of research comparing outcomes of Surgical Ablation (SA) and Catheter Ablation (CA) among Atrial Fibrillation(AF) patients with heart failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and . Hypothesis: The main objective is to compare short-term clinical outcomes of SA and CA in AF patients with HFpEF. Methods: We used the national inpatient sample to identify patients over 18 years with HFpEF hospitalization and AF, and undergoing SA and CA from 2016 - 2017. The clinical outcomes of SA versus CA in AF stratified as non-paroxysmal and paroxysmal were analyzed. Results: 1,530 HFpEF hospitalizations with AF who underwent SA and 1,045 HFpEF hospitalizations with AF who underwent CA were included in the analysis. Patients undergoing CA had higher baseline comorbidity. The in-hospital mortality between HFpEF with AF undergoing SA as compared to CA was similar (1.9% versus 1.4%, adjusted P-value 0.04). Patients undergoing SA had a significantly longer length of hospital stay, a higher percentage of post-procedural, and cardiac complications. In HFpEF patients with non-paroxysmal AF, SA as opposed to CA was associated with a higher percentage of in-hospital mortality (2.7% versus 0%, adjusted P-value=0.23), a longer length of stay, a higher cost of treatment, and a higher percentage of cardiac complications. Conclusions: In conclusion, CA is associated with lower in-hospital outcomes as compared to SA among AF with HFpEF patients. Further research with freedom from AF is needed between this group with long-term out c omes.

[first paragraph of article]Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents approximately 50% of the world's HF population, and this proportion is increasing over time. The diagnosis of HFpEF is more challenging than HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Patients with HFpEF are significantly older, more likely to be female, and more likely to have hypertension, obesity, anemia, atrial fibrillation, renal disease, and pulmonary disease compared to those with HFrEF. In observational studies, rates of hospitalization and death among patients with HFpEF approach those with HFrEF, however in clinical trial populations, outcomes are better in patients who have HFpEF. Death from non- cardiovascular causes is more common in patients who have HFpEF than in those with HFrEF, and a smaller percentage of patients with HFpEF die from CVD-related causes.
