  1. EMR Electronic Medical Record, PE physical examination ICER incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Relative effectiveness represents HFPEF medication effectiveness as a percentage of the effectiveness in HFREF. For each strategy the incremental life-years, QALYs and costs are compared to the current optimal strategy and the ICER was calculated. Strategies 2, 3, and 4 were dominated by strategy 5
