How does multimorbidity impact the risk of death and outcomes in patients with heart failure across the LVEF spectrum?
In patients with heart failure, multimorbidity is highly prevalent, particularly in HFpEF, and is associated with a high risk of mortality.
The burden of both CV and non-CV comorbidities was high in HF regardless of EF, but overall higher in HFpEF. Multimorbidity was associated with a high risk of death with a different burden on CV or non-CV outcomes.
Tomasoni et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
