Population

1021 consecutive patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) under guideline-directed medical therapy

Outcome

All-cause mortality during a 5 years of follow-uphard clinical

Bivalvular functional regurgitation is a common entity in HFrEF, and its presence and severity are independently associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and increased long-term mortality.
