Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Non-Cardiac Co-Morbidities in Heart Failure Outpatients with Preserved and Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Community-Based Study

Abstract

In a contemporary community population with chronic heart failure, non-cardiac co-morbidities confer a similar contribution to outcomes in HFrEF and HFpEF. These observations suggest that quality improvement initiatives aimed at optimizing co-morbidities may be similarly effective in HFrEF and HFpEF.
