Heart failure affects 1 in 6 Portuguese adults aged ≥50, with HFpEF comprising over 90% of mostly undiagnosed cases, suggesting NT-proBNP plus echo screening.
Heart failure affects approximately 1 in 6 Portuguese adults aged ≥50 years, with over 90% being HFpEF and mostly undiagnosed, supporting the use of NT-proBNP and echocardiography for early detection.

HF affects approximately one in six Portuguese adults aged ≥50 years, with HFpEF accounting for over 90% of cases, most previously undiagnosed. These findings support NT-proBNP-based screening combined with echocardiographic evaluation to improve early HF detection in ageing populations.
