Is impaired Myocardial Sympathetic Innervation Associated with Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction : 11C-hydroxyephedrine PET Study?
Myocardial sympathetic innervation was impaired in HFpEF patients and was associated with the presence of advanced diastolic dysfunction in HFpEF.
Patients are highly satisfied with procedure performance by supervised trainees, and many patients were reassured by physician communication during the procedure. These results suggest that patient experience and teaching can be preserved with a hospitalist-supervised procedure service.
