Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with poor quality of life (QoL), or patient reported outcome(PRO). Despite female predominance in HFpEF, sex-specific differences in PROs remain poorly studied. We assessed PRO measures and their association with HF-severity and outcome in HFpEF by sex.Methods and results: In 378 patients with HFpEF from the KaRen study, EQ-5D-3L (R) and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (R) (MLHFQ) were assessed. Characteristics and comorbidities were largely similar in women (n = 212, 57%) and men. Women expressed worse QoL in EQ-5D-3L (R) (EQ-VAS), independent of age and HF-severity, mean (SD), 57 (20) vs. 61 (19), p = 0.010. There was no difference in MLHFQ, 31 (21) vs. 29 (21), p = 0.269.Spearman's correlations with HF-severity (NYHA-class) were for MLHFQ in women r(s) 0.37 vs. men 0.41, p for both
