HeartShare - Extant Datasets - Harmonized Clinical Trials Collection

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) prevalence is rising with an aging population and contributing comorbidities, such as obesity and diabetes. The Get With The Guidelines - Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) study showed that the proportion of hospitalized HFpEF patients rose from 2005 to 2010, and this trajectory continued to increase through 2020. HFpEF patients have a poor 5-year outcome with a 75% mortality rate. Taken together, these data suggest that HFpEF may be the dominant HF subtype in the future, affecting approximately 1 in 10 adults during their lifetime.

In addition to its increasing prevalence, HFpEF is a heterogeneous syndrome with multiple pathophysiological processes and varied clinical presentations. There is an urgent need to improve understanding of different HFpEF phenotypes to match patients with interventions based on their unique subtype. Phenomapping studies have identified between two and six HFpEF clusters/phenogroups with shared features. Of these, three overlapping phenotypes repeatedly arise: an 'older, vascular aging' phenotype, 'metabolic, obese' phenotype, and 'relatively younger, natriuretic peptide (NP) deficiency' phenotype. Continued refinement of these HFpEF subtypes is needed to identify distinct characteristics and underlying biologic and molecular mechanisms towards therapeutic development and future precision trials with improved diagnostic criteria and treatment including prevention.

The HeartShare extant datasets collection consists of selected completed trials on HFpEF which have been harmonized for the purpose identifying and defining subtypes. The goal is to identify HFpEF subtypes that have a common pathophysiology. Through the HeartShare extant datasets collection, users can request access to both the harmonized data and the individual trial datasets.
