Abstract<p><b>BACKGROUND: </b>The 2022 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA)/Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) clinical practice guideline proposed an updated definition for heart failure (HF) stages.</p><p><b>OBJECTIVES: </b>This study aimed to compare prevalence and prognosis of HF stages according to classification/definition originally described in 2013 and 2022 ACC/AHA/HFSA definitions.</p><p><b>METHODS: </b>Study participants from 3 longitudinal cohorts (the MESA [Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis], CHS [Cardiovascular Health Study], and the FHS [Framingham Heart Study]), were categorized into 4 HF stages according to the 2013 and 2022 criteria. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess predictors of progression to symptomatic HF and adverse clinical outcomes associated with each HF stage.</p><p><b>RESULTS: </b>Among 11,618 study participants, according to the 2022 staging, 1,943 (16.7%) were healthy, 4,348 (37.4%) were in stage A (at risk), 5,019 (43.2%) were in stage B (pre-HF), and 308 (2.7%) were in stage C/D (symptomatic HF). Compared to the classification/definition originally described in 2013, the 2022 ACC/AHA/HFSA approach resulted in a higher proportion of individuals with stage B HF (increase from 15.9% to 43.2%); this shift disproportionately involved women as well as Hispanic and Black individuals. Despite the 2022 criteria designating a greater proportion of individuals as stage B, the relative risk of progression to symptomatic HF remained similar (HR: 10.61; 95% CI: 9.00-12.51; P < 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS: </b>New standards for HF staging resulted in a substantial shift of community-based individuals from stage A to stage B. Those with stage B HF in the new system were at high risk for progression to symptomatic HF.</p>
