Discrepancy in the Diagnosis of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Between Supine Versus Upright Exercise Hemodynamic Testing

Invasive exercise right heart catheterization is a gold standard in diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Body positions during the test influence hemodynamics. However, the discrepancy in HFpEF diagnosis between exercise testing in supine versus upright position is unknown.
