Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To determine the prevalence and prognosis of the HFA-PEFF-defined HFpEF phenotype in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or greater. We also aim to compare 1-year changes in HFA-PEFF scores and cardiac remodeling between patients with and without catheter ablation and to explore their associations with clinical outcomes.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure during the 1-year follow-up period

Key secondary outcomes

The key secondary outcome is a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or myocardial infarction during the 1-year follow-up period. The safety outcome is a bleeding event, defined as major bleeding according to the ISTH criteria or clinically relevant non-major bleeding. A net clinical outcome comprising all-cause death, worsening heart failure, stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, or bleeding events, as well as its individual components, will also be evaluated. Other secondary outcomes include transient ischemic attack, unstable angina, other cardiovascular events requiring hospitalization, cardiovascular death, sudden death, other causes of death, recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation, pacemaker implantation, falls, fractures, pneumonia, and newly diagnosed cancer. Changes from baseline to 1 year in body weight, symptoms, Clinical Frailty Scale, Specific Activity Scale, exercise activity, laboratory and nutritional indices, medications, HFA-PEFF score, H2FPEF score, echocardiographic parameters, and cardiac remodeling parameters will also be assessed. Changes in the HFA-PEFF score and its individual domains and cardiac remodeling parameters will be compared between patients with and without catheter ablation.

Other related information

This is a prospective multicenter observational study of patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or greater. No study-specific intervention or treatment allocation is performed. Clinical data are collected from medical records at baseline and 1 year, including patient characteristics, laboratory findings, medications, echocardiographic parameters, HFA-PEFF scores, catheter ablation status, and clinical outcomes. The study evaluates the prevalence and prognosis of the HFA-PEFF-defined HFpEF phenotype and compares 1-year changes in HFA-PEFF scores and cardiac remodeling between patients with and without catheter ablation.
