Evaluation Of The H2FPEF And HFA-PEFF Diagnostic Scores In Obese Hemodynamically Confirmed HFpEF

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was once predominantly a disease of older patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. However, the prevalent phenotype has markedly changed to one of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Scoring algorithms derived from prior common HFpEF phenotypes, including the H2FPEF and HFA-PEFF scores, have yet to be evaluated in a predominantly obese HFpEF cohort.
