Prognostic value of the H₂ FPEF score in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of the H₂ FPEF score in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF).

Methods and results

In this multicentre study, a total of 832 patients from two German high-volume centres, who received TAVI for severe AS and preserved EF (≥50%), were identified for calculation of the H₂ FPEF score. Patients were dichotomized according to low (0-5 points; n = 570) and high (6-9 points; n = 262) H₂ FPEF scores. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were applied to assess the prognostic impact of the H₂ FPEF score. We observed a decrease in stroke volume index (-2.04 mL/m
