High long-term event rates warrant close monitoring in HF with preserved EF; leaves open optimal interventions pending prospective data.
Cohort (n=52)
Patients with congestive heart failure and intact LV systolic function have a high risk of future cardiovascular events, with a 75% combined mortality and morbidity rate at 7 years.
Setaro et al. (1992) conducted a cohort in Congestive heart failure with intact systolic left ventricular performance (n=52). Congestive heart failure with intact left ventricular systolic function was evaluated on Combined cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure and intact left ventricular systolic function, combined cardiovascular mortality and morbidity reached 75% over 7 years of follow-up.
