Does the presence of heart failure increase 1-year all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality in patients with incident CKD?
In patients with incident CKD, comorbid heart failure is highly prevalent and significantly increases 1-year mortality risk, particularly among those with HFrEF.
Among patients with incident CKD, heart failure was highly prevalent with HFpEF accounting for over 70% among patients with known ejection fraction. Although the presence of heart failure was associated with higher 1-year all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality, patients with HFrEF were the most vulnerable.
