Key result
HFA-PEFF algorithm accurately distinguishes HFpEF, with a score of 5 or higher confirming definite diagnosis.
Why the study?
Making a firm diagnosis of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction remains a clinical challenge.
How should heart failure with preserved ejection fraction be diagnosed using a stepwise clinical and imaging approach?
How should heart failure with preserved ejection fraction be diagnosed using a stepwise clinical and imaging approach?
The HFA-PEFF algorithm provides a standardized, stepwise consensus recommendation for diagnosing HFpEF using clinical, echocardiographic, biomarker, and functional assessments.

Supports HFA-PEFF accuracy in experimental HFpEF; leaves open human validation before clinical adoption.
Pieske et al. (2019) studied this question. The HFA–PEFF diagnostic algorithm accurately distinguishes HFpEF, with a score of ≥5 points indicating definite diagnosis, while ≤1 point suggests it's unlikely.
