Does survival differ between patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and those with reduced ejection fraction?
This population-based study demonstrates that survival in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is similar to that of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Among patients presenting with new-onset heart failure, a substantial proportion had an ejection fraction of more than 50 percent. The survival of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction was similar to that of patients with reduced ejection fraction.
Bhatia et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
