This exploratory analysis is part of the Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction study (N=1231), an ongoing, prospective, multicentre observational study of acute decompensated HFpEF (UMIN000021831). A predefined subcohort of 212 patients underwent multi-biomarker testing. Of these, we analysed 181 patients with available GDF15 data. The primary endp
