About one half of patients with heart failure (HF) have preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) rather than reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). The differences in risk factors predisposing to the 2 subtypes of HF are poorly understood. We sought to identify clinical predictors of new-onset HF and to explore differences in HFPEF versus HFREF.
