Abbreviations: AF, atrial fibrillation; e′, septal mitral annulus tissue relaxation velocity in early diastole; E/e′, ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to e′; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; LAVI, left atrial volume index; LV, left ventricle; LVMI, LV mass index; NTproBNP, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide; PASP, pulmonary artery systolic pressure; RWT, relative wall thickness; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.

a

Defined as a body mass index greater than 30 (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared).

b

Scores range from 0 to 2, with higher scores indicating higher functional domain score component of HFA-PEFF score.

c

Scores range from 0 to 2, with higher scores indicating higher morphological domain score component of HFA-PEFF score.

d

Includes 37 patients with BNP measurements from 1 center who had BNP greater than 80 (sinus) or greater than 240 (AF).

e

Includes 37 patients with BNP measurements from 1 center who had BNP of 35 to 80 (sinus) or 105 to 240 (AF).

f

Scores range from 0 to 2, with higher scores indicating higher natriuretic peptide domain score component of HFA-PEFF score.
