Performance of the H2FPEF and the HFA-PEFF scores for the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in Japanese patients: A report from the Japanese multicenter registry

Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is challenging. Although the H2FPEF score and HFA-PEFF algorithm have been proposed for diagnosing HFpEF, previous validation studies were conducted in stable chronic heart failure (HF). Moreover, information on their applicability in the Asian population is limited. We sought to investigate these scores' diagnostic performance for HFpEF in Japanese patients recently hospitalized...
