Abstract

We herein present a case study of a patient with heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction and severe symptoms who underwent interatrial shunt device implantation and follow-up at a tertiary care heart failure clinic. The interatrial shunt device implantation was successful. No adverse events occurred, and the device prevented hospitalization for heart failure during long-term follow-up.

Keywords: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; adverse outcomes; case report; hospitalization for heart failure; interatrial shunt device; long-term follow-up.
