Patients with chronic heart failure exhibit diverse phenotypes and 1-year outcomes depending on their LVEF category, suggesting that LVEF-specific mortality predictors could improve risk stratification.
Heart failure patients stratified according to different categories of LVEF represent diverse phenotypes of demography, clinical presentation, aetiology and outcomes at 1 year. Differences in predictors for mortality might improve risk stratification and management goals.
