Key result
The H2FPEF score was an independent predictor of future heart failure-related events in stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors (P<0.001).
Why the study?
Predicting future heart failure in stable outpatients is challenging, and whether the H2FPEF score can predict future heart failure-related events in stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors required external validation.
Does the H2FPEF score predict future HF-related events in stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors?

May aid risk stratification in stable outpatients; leaves open whether H2FPEF-guided strategies improve outcomes.

Does the H2FPEF score predict future HF-related events in stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors?
p-value: p=<0.001
The H2FPEF score, originally designed to diagnose HFpEF, independently predicts future heart failure events in stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Suzuki et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors (n=356). H2FPEF score vs. Low H2FPEF score was evaluated on Future HF-related events (cardiovascular death and hospitalization for HF decompensation) (p=<0.001). The H2FPEF score was an independent predictor of future heart failure-related events in stable outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors (P<0.001).
