Arterial elastance is associated with central blood pressure and arterial peripheral resistance in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Objective of the study was to assess ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC), parameters of left ventricular (LV) work efficiency and their determinants in patients with arterial hypertension (HTN) and stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
