Prognostic Impact of Framingham Heart Failure Criteria in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Abstract

In ambulatory HFpEF patients, a quarter met FC-HF, while most met NP and echocardiography criteria for HF. Residual FC-HF tended to be associated with increased risk for mortality and HF hospitalization, further strengthened by NPs and echocardiographic criteria, highlighting its role in clinical risk assessment.
