Association of Subclinical Heart Maladaptation With the Pooled Cohort Equations to Prevent Heart Failure Risk Score for Incident Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The Pooled Cohort Equations to Prevent Heart Failure (PCP-HF) estimate the 10-year risk for symptomatic heart failure (HF) from routine clinical data. The PCP-HF score should detect asymptomatic individuals with cardiac maladaptation preceding HF symptoms for it to be a useful HF prediction tool in primary prevention.

Objective

To assess the concordance between PCP-HF risk scoring and the presence of subclinical cardiac maladaptation in the community.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional analysis included participants enrolled in the Flemish Study on Environment, Genes and Health Outcomes who underwent a clinical examination including echocardiography between May 2005 and January 2015. Participants younger than 30 years, older than 79 year
