Abstract Aims The H2FPEF score is a convenient risk stratification tool for diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study examined the value of the H2FPEF score for predicting all‐cause mortality and rehospitalization in HFpEF patients. Methods and results This was a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with HFpEF by echocardiography at a single tertiary centre between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2018. According to the H2FPEF score, the subjects were divided into low (0–1 points), intermediate (2–5 points), and high (6–9 points) score groups. The primary outcomes were all‐cause mortality and rehospitalization. A total of 476 patients (mean age: 70.5 ± 8.4 years, 60.7% female) were included. Of these, 47 (9.9%), 262 (55.0%), and 167 (35.1%) were classified into the low, intermediate, and high score groups, respectively. Over a mean follow‐up of 27.5 months, 63 patients (13.2%) died, and 311 patients (65.3%) were rehospitalized. The mortality rates were 3 (6.4%), 29 (11.1%), and 31 (18.6%), and the number of patients with rehospitalization was 28 (59.6%), 159 (60.7%), and 124 (74.3%) for the low, intermediate, and high score groups, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression identified H2FPEF score as an independent predictor of all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.23–1.73, P
