Acute Effects of Inorganic Nitrite on Cardiovascular Hemodynamics in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Summary

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major public health problem that has no proven effective treatment. This study assessed the effects of acute nitrite administration on resting and exercise hemodynamics in patients with HFpEF.
