Abstract

Aims: The study aimed to investigate the H2FPEF SCORE in hypertensive patients with unexplained dyspnea and have a ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50% at the outpatient clinics. Results: the average H2FPEF SCORE was 2.75 ± 1.42, the highest was 7 points, the lowest was 0 points. According to each scale factor, the proportion of patients with obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m²) accounted for only 2.2%, atrial fibrillation accounted for 10.4%. The H2FPEF SCORE was higher in the group with chronic kidney disease (p=0.05). The NT-pro BNP index was statistically significantly higher in the group of patients with high H2FPEF score (p<0.001). Left atrial volume index (LAVI) increased in proportion to high H2FPEF score (p < 0.001). Conclusion: the average H2FPEF SCORE is lower than other studies due to lower average BMI, a lower prevalence of obesity, atrial fibrillation (two important factors in the scale. Chronic kidney disease, NT-proBNP, and left atrial volume index (LAVI) were strongly associated with H2FPEF scores.
