High-intensity interval training not superior to moderate training in HFpEF
Compared with moderate training, high-intensity interval training yielded no significant difference in peak oxygen consumption after 3 months in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction, researchers reported.
COSMIC-HF: Omecamtiv mecarbil may improve diastolic function, pulmonary pressures in HF
PHILADELPHIA — Omecamtiv mecarbil, a selective cardiac myosin activator, improved diastolic function and pulmonary pressures without worsening diastolic filling in patients with chronic HF and reduced systolic function, according to data presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
