The association of cardiac troponin and cardiovascular events in patients with concomitant heart failure preserved ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation

Table 1 HFA-PEFF score for HFpEF diagnosis in patients with AF

	Functional	Morphologic (AF)	Biomarker (AF)
Major (2 points)	Septal e’ < 7 cm/s	LAVI > 40 ml/m2	BNP > 240 pg/ml
	E/e’ ≥ 15
	PASP > 35 mmHg
Minor (1 point)	E/e’ ratio 9—14	LAVI 34—40 ml/m2	BNP 105–240 pg/ml
≥ 5 points: High probability for HFpEF diagnosis
