Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), including those with preserved and decreased left ventricular systolic function
Mortality and morbidityhard clinical
Routine clinical variables, particularly diabetes, are strong independent predictors of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic heart failure regardless of ejection fraction.
In a large contemporary CHF population, including patients with preserved and decreased left ventricular systolic function, routine clinical variables can discriminate risk regardless of EF. Diabetes was found to be a surprisingly strong independent predictor. These models can stratify risk and help define how patient characteristics relate to clinical course.
