Differences between patients with a preserved and a depressed left ventricular function: a report from the EuroHeart Failure Survey
Key result
EuroHeart Failure Survey delineates differences in characteristics, treatments, and outcomes between HFpEF and HFrEF.
Why the study?
Scientific evidence regarding the management of patients with chronic heart failure and preserved left ventricular function is scarce due to a lack of clinical trials.
Comparison
Patients with preserved left ventricular function vs patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Design
EuroHeart Failure Survey
