TL;DR

Addition of LA strain imaging with optimized rule-in or rule-out values improves diagnostic triage by expanding non-invasive rule-in/rule-out classifications while identifying patients who still require invasive testing in the evaluation of HFpEF.

Left Atrial Stiffness Index for Refining Diastolic Stress Test Selection in Suspected Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

LASI is a resting echocardiographic marker associated with positive DST and may help refine pre-test selection for DST among patients with suspected HFpEF, particularly those with intermediate HFA-PEFF scores.

Comparing Left Atrial Strain and the HFA-PEFF Score in Diagnosing Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Cross-Sectional Study

Highlights The LA strain demonstrates diagnostic efficacy comparable to the HFA-PEFF score in diagnosing HFpEF. Integrating LA strain indices into current guidelines could enhance future HFpEF diagnostics. Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has a high hospitalization rate. While recent g...

Automated assessment of echocardiograms to aid diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores based on automated and manual echocardiographic analysis showed similar diagnostic accuracy, suggesting automated HFpEF diagnosis using deep learning analysis of echocardiograms is feasible.

The clinical value of quantitative echocardiography for functional mitral regurgitation in contemporary heart failure.

Whatever the quantification method, the prevalence of FMR has declined compared to the past, driven by the contemporary GDMT, and EROA-PISA remains the reference standard, while automated 3D volumetric assessment serves as a physiologically consistent complementary approach.

Diagnostic Accuracy of the H2FPEF Score for Identifying Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction in Adults with Suspected HFpEF at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Pakistan

The H2FPEF score demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for identifying HFpEF among adults with suspected disease in this tertiary-care cohort; however, because the study population represented a selected high-prevalence referral cohort, external validation in broader clinical settings is warranted.
