Comparison of aerobic capacity between patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; patients from a control group matched by age, sex, and other comorbidities without heart failure; and patients with hypertension without heart failure. Adapted from Haykowsky, M et al.10 HFpEF: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; Hyp: hypertension; VO2: oxygen consumption.
