77% Informative

Researchers at the University of Toronto say earlier signs of stiffening or scarring of heart tissue can be found elsewhere in the body.

Previous research shows poor blood flow in leg muscles may occur before similar changes in the heart.

The condition, called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpPE), is on the rise and affects millions of people worldwide.
