Prognostic significance of dipstick proteinuria in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: insight from the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The semiquantitative urine dipstick test is a simple and convenient method that is available in the smallest community-based healthcare clinics. We sought to clarify the prognostic significance of dipstick proteinuria in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Design

A Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT-HFpEF) registry.

Participants and setting

We assessed 851 discharged-alive patients in the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry who were initially hospitalised due to an acute decompensated HFpEF (EF≥50%) and elevated N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (≥400 ng/L) at Os
