Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) phenotypes have been characterised as static entities in trial populations yet their temporal dynamics remain unexplored in routine clinical practice. We aimed to identify HFpEF phenogroups from real-world electronic health records (EHRs), characterise their longitudinal stability and determine whether phenogroup trajector…
