PG - 378-387 LID - 10.1253/circrep.CR-22-0063 [doi] AB - Background: Lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) is an arterial occlusive disease characterized by an insufficient blood supply to the lower limb arteries. The H(2)FPEF score, comprising Heavy, Hypertensive, atrial Fibrillation, Pulmonary hypertension, Elder, and Filling pressure, has been developed to identify patients at high risk of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction. This study assessed the impact of modified H(2)FPEF scores on chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with LEAD. Methods and Results: This study was a prospective observational study. Because the definition of obesity differs by race, we calculated the modified H(2)FPEF score using a body mass index >25 kg/m(2) to define obesity in 293 patients with LEAD who underwent first endovascular therapy. The primary endpoints were newly developed and recurrent CLTI. The secondary endpoint was a composite of events, including mortality and rehospitalization due to worsening HF and/or CLTI. The modified H(2)FPEF score increased significantly with advancing Fontaine classes. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that the modified H(2)FPEF score was an independent predictor of newly developed and recurrent CLTI and composite events. The net reclassification index and integrated discrimination improvement were significantly improved by adding the modified H(2)FPEF score to the basic predictors. Conclusions: The modified H(2)FPEF score was associated with LEAD severity and future CLTI development, suggesting that it could be a feasible marker for patients with LEAD.
