Does the presence of coronary artery disease differentially impact 10-year outcomes in patients hospitalized for HFPEF compared to HFREF?
Coronary artery disease carries a distinct and severe prognostic impact in patients with HFpEF, placing them at particularly high risk for cardiovascular and sudden death over a 10-year period.
The prognostic impact of CAD is different in HFPEF compared with HFREF. Patients with HFPEF and CAD are at high risk of cardiovascular death, especially sudden death.
