Optimal NT-proBNP cut points for HFpEF rule out (optimizing sensitivity) and rule in (optimizing specificity) were derived and tested, stratified by obesity and atrial fibrillation. Derived cut points were tested in 3 additional validation cohorts (cohorts 4-6) in whom HFpEF was diagnosed by resting catheterization only (n=260), previous hospitalization for heart failure (n=447), or exercise echocardiography (n=517), respectively.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Current recommended rule-out NT-proBNP threshold <125 pg/mL had 82% sensitivity (95% CI, 77%-88%) with a body mass index (BMI) <35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, decreasing to 67% (95% CI, 58%-77%) with a BMI ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. A lower rule-out NT-proBNP threshold <50 pg/mL displayed good sensitivity with a BMI <35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (97% [95% CI, 95%-99%]), with a modest decline in sensitivity with a BMI ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (86% [95% CI, 79%-93%]); diagnostic thresholds were confirmed in validation cohorts 1 and 2 (91% [95% CI, 88%-95%] and 86% [95% CI, 80%-93%] with a BMI <35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; 80% [95% CI, 74%-87%] and 84% [95% CI, 74%-93%] with a BMI ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>). Current consensus age- and BMI-stratified rule-in thresholds demonstrated only 65% specificity (95% CI, 57%-72%). Rule-in NT-proBNP threshold ≥500 pg/mL had 85% specificity (95% CI, 78%-91%) with a BMI <35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (87% [95% CI, 80%-94%] and 90% [95% CI, 81%-99%] in validation cohorts), with 100% specificity at a BMI ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (93% [95% CI, 81%-100%] and 100% in validation cohorts). With a BMI ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, lower rule-in thresholds (≥220 pg/mL) provided good specificity (88% [95% CI, 73%-100%]; 93% [95% CI, 81%-100%] and 100% in validation cohorts). Findings were consistent in validation cohorts 3 through 6 (sensitivity of <50 pg/mL, 93%-98%; specificity of ≥500 pg/mL, 82%-89%).
