Evaluating the Prognostic Value of the Modified H₂FPEF Score in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The H₂FPEF score, a convenient tool developed for diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), exhibited useful prognostic utility in HFpEF. However, the applicability and the prognostic value of the H₂FPEF score in Chinese HFpEF patients have yet to be fully confirmed. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of modified H₂FPEF score on the prognosis of Chinese HFpEF patients.

Methods

In this retrospective study, we calculated the H₂FPEF scores by body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m² and 30 kg/m² respectively, for 497 consecutive HFpEF patients in China. Subjects were divided into low- (0 - 3 points), intermediate- (4 - 6 points), and high-score (7 - 9 points) groups. The primary an
