Cohort (n=64)
Single-blind (outcome assessor)
Yes
Children surviving the first year after presenting with heart failure from heart muscle disease have a favorable long-term prognosis, with 89% event-free survival at 10 years conditional on 1-year survival.

Andrews et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Heart failure from heart muscle disease (n=64). Heart failure from heart muscle disease was evaluated on Overall and event-free survival (death or transplantation). In children surviving 1 year after new-onset heart failure from heart muscle disease, overall survival conditional on 1-year survival was 94% at 5 years and 89% at 10 years.
