简要总结
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has grown to become the dominant form of heart failure (HF) worldwide, in tandem with ageing of the general population and the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In 2020, > 70% of patients with heart failure had preserved ejection fraction. The incidence and prevalence of HFpEF has been growing by 10% every 10 years relative to HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In 2017, the prevalence of HFpEF varied from 1% to 14% based on available data from Europe and USA. HFpEF is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and patients with HFpEF have similarly high hospitalization rates as patients with HFrEF. Hence, HFpEF poses a substantial global health challenge. Despite its prevalence, HFpEF remains undiagnosed and underrecognized, necessitating a comprehensive approach to both identification and management.
Ensuring successful treatment necessitates early identification of HFpEF. Consequently, a targeted screening strategy has been devised for the identification of HFpEF patients. Given the higher prevalence of heart failure (HF) in the elderly population, testing the screening strategy is imperative to customize it to the specific needs of vulnerable patients who may be more inclined to decline participation in the screening program.
详细描述
The study is a prospective, observational cohort study. Using risk factors for HFpEF, the Danish National Health Registries will be used to identify up to 5000 citizens with at least one risk factor for HFpEF relying on International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10), medication, and biochemistry. The investigators will only recruit patients from the Capital Region of Denmark. Participants will be recruited by sending recruitment letters to a secure electronic mailbox (eBoks) linked to the patients' social security numbers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the identification and screening procedures for HFpEF outlined in this protocol. Additionally, the investigators aim to gauge the willingness of identified Danish adults with risk factors for HFpEF to participate in the study and to identify and address any barriers to their involvement. Overall, the investigators expect the results of this study can be used to guide future initiatives aimed at improving the identification and enrollment of patients with HFpEF, particularly among vulnerable populations.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary objective of this study is to pilot the identification and screening procedures outlined in this protocol.
时间窗: From the invitation date until the end of the study (approximately 12 months).
The primary objective of this study is to pilot the identification and screening procedures outlined in this protocol. This includes assessing the identification rate (%) and estimating the prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) both overall and within different subgroups (%).
次要结局
- Secondarily, we aim to assess the willingness of identified Danish adults with risk factors for HFpEF to participate in the study, as well as to identify and address any barriers to their involvement.(From the end of the study until all analyses are completed (estimated to be from November 2025 to March 2026)
