Can risk prediction models accurately discriminate between HF subtypes (HFpEF and HFrEF)?
Risk prediction models can discriminate between HFpEF and HFrEF, supporting the notion of pathogenetic differences in their respective risk factors.
We describe and validate risk prediction models for HF subtypes and show good discrimination in a large sample. Some risk factors differed between HFpEF and HFrEF, supporting the notion of pathogenetic differences among HF subtypes.
