Why the study?
The usefulness of the H2FPEF-score and nomogram-score for diagnosing early HFpEF and exertional dyspnea in Japanese patients remains unclear.
Do the H2FPEF-score and nomogram-score correlate with exercise intolerance and abnormal hemodynamics in Japanese patients?
Do the H2FPEF-score and nomogram-score correlate with exercise intolerance and abnormal hemodynamics in Japanese patients?
This study aims to evaluate the utility of the H2FPEF and nomogram scores for predicting exercise intolerance and abnormal hemodynamics in a Japanese population.
Supports the clinical utility of these diagnostic scores in East Asian populations; leaves open whether their routine.
Background:Both the H2FPEF-score and nomogram-score, which consist of simple clinical parameters, can assist in diagnosing “early” heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and only exertional dyspnea, but their these usefulness in Japanese remains unclear. We sought to investigate the correlation between these scores and exercise response, including the peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2), the pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), the ratio of early diastolic transmitral flow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/e’) and stroke volume (SV) using exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) combined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
