Popis: Aims Although echocardiography is generally used for the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), invasive measurements of filling pressures are the gold standard. Studies simultaneously performing echocardiography and invasive measurements in HFpEF are sparse. Methods and results Invasive haemodynamic and echocardiographic measurements were simultaneously performed in 98 patients with heart failure New York Heart Association class ≥II, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥45%, and suspected pulmonary hypertension on a previous echocardiogram. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to establish echocardiographic predictors of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP). Mean age of the study patients was 74 ± 9 years, 68% were female, mean LVEF was 57 ± 5%, and 30% had atrial fibrillation at the time of measurement. Mean PAWP, LVEDP and mPAP were 17.2 ± 6.2, 16.7 ± 5.8 and 30.9 ± 10.2 mmHg, respectively. Isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) and left atrial reservoir strain could moderately estimate PAWP (r = 0.656; P
