Episode 70: Passive Leg Raise and Occult HFpEF in Pulmonary Hypertension
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite author Dr. Ayumi Goda, from the Kyorin University Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, to discuss her team's paper, "Prevalence of occult HFpEF and age-specific efficacy of passive leg raise in pulmonary hypertension."
The discussion explores:
- How clinical observations led to the idea for a study on whether the passive leg raise could unmask occult HFpEF
- The potential diagnostic value of the passive leg raise in differing patient populations
- Age-specific cutoffs that may influence what kind of testing to use in clinical practice
