The ESC 2016, H2FPEF, and HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF detect different, discordant subpopulations with very limited overlap among probands with breathlessness.
Observational
Do the ESC 2016, H2FPEF, and HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithms identify the same subpopulations of patients with HFpEF in the general population?
The ESC 2016, H2FPEF, and HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF identify discordant subpopulations, highlighting the need for further classification of the syndrome.
AIMS: FPEF and HFA-PEFF scores to a middle-aged sample of the general population and compared the different groups with each other. METHODS AND RESULTS: FPEF score. The overlap of subjects diagnosed with HFpEF according to the different algorithms was very limited. CONCLUSIONS: FPEF and HFA-PEFF scores detect different, discordant subpopulations of probands with breathlessness. Further classification of the HFpEF syndrome is desirable.
Nikorowitsch et al. (Sun,) conducted a observational in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). ESC 2016, H2FPEF, and HFA-PEFF Diagnostic Algorithms vs. Each other was evaluated on Overlap of subjects diagnosed with HFpEF according to different algorithms. The ESC 2016, H2FPEF, and HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF detect different, discordant subpopulations with very limited overlap among probands with breathlessness.
