Why the study?
What is the 5-year prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction compared to HFrEF and the general population?
What is the 5-year prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction compared to HFrEF and the general population?
HFpEF carries a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of 43%, comparable to that of HFrEF.
Poor HFpEF prognosis warrants enhanced supportive care; leaves open optimal interventions to reduce excess mortality.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has a poor prognosis, comparable with that of HF with reduced EF, with a 5 year survival rate after a first episode of 43% and a high excess mortality compared with the general population.
