JAMA CardiolPublished Secondary analysis of the FINEARTS-HF randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Results of the FINEARTS-HF randomized clinical trial demonstrate that the PREDICT-HFpEF models performed well in terms of calibration and discrimination. Baseline risk did not modify the benefit of finerenone.
