Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The following inclusion criteria apply to identify suitable patients for the HFpEF group: - Written informed consent available - Chronic, symptomatic heart failure (NYHA II-IV) with preserved systolic LV function (HFA-PEFF score =5 points) in the stage of clinical recompensation The following inclusion criteria apply to identify suitable patients for the control group: - Written informed consent available - Exclusion of chronic, symptomatic heart failure (NYHA II-IV) with preserved LV systolic function (HFA-PEFF score =5 points) in the stage of clinical recompensation
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The following exclusion criteria apply to both the group with HFpEF and the control group: - lack of written patient consent - lack of patient capacity to consent - simultaneous participation in other intervention studies - pregnancy - an existing employment relationship or other dependent relationship with the applicant Clinic for Internal Medicine III
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary aim of the study is to validate the S-factor in terms of sensitivity, specificity and the positive and negative predictive values for the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved pumping function (HFpEF) in comparison to echocardiography. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondarily, the diagnostic quality of other AI-supported vectorcardiography parameters will be assessed in comparison with echocardiography. Of particular interest is whether AI- supported vectorcardiography in combination with the risk predictors (gender, arterial hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease) offers a comparable diagnostic value compared to echocardiography. | — |
