Cardiac Structure and Function and Prognosis in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in cardiac structure and function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction may help identify patients at particularly high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Cardiac structure and function were assessed by echocardiography in a blinded core laboratory at baseline in 935 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥45%) …
