Does Hispanic ethnicity impact inpatient mortality and quality of care in patients hospitalized for heart failure with preserved or reduced ejection fraction compared to non-Hispanic whites?
Hispanic patients hospitalized with HFpEF have better in-hospital survival compared to non-Hispanic whites, while mortality is similar in HFrEF, with both groups showing improved quality of care over time.
Vivo et al. (2012) studied this question.
