    • Machine learning based on biomarker profiles identifies distinct subgroups of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 

      Woolley, Rebecca J.; Ceelen, Daan; Ouwerkerk, Wouter; Tromp, Jasper; Figarska, Sylwia M.; Anker, Stefan D.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Filippatos, Gerasimos; Zannad, Faiez; Marco, Metra; Ng, Leong L.; Samani, Nilesh J.; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J; Lang, Chim C.; Lam, Carolyn S.P.; Voors, Adriaan A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Aims The lack of effective therapies for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often ascribed to the heterogeneity of patients with HFpEF. We aimed to identify distinct pathophysiologic ...
