Abstract

BACKGROUND: Whether there is a subset of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) that benefit from spironolactone therapy is unclear. We applied a machine learning approach to identify responders and non-responders to spironolactone among patients with HFpEF in two large randomized clinical trials.
