Five-Year Mortality of Heart Failure with Preserved, Mildly Reduced, and Reduced Ejection Fraction in a 4880 Chinese Cohort

Abstract

In this Chinese cohort, patients with HFrEF account for less than a fourth of HF patients. One-sixth individuals with HF died in 5 years. HFrEF was associated with a nearly two-fold increased risk of 5 year mortality than HFpEF. Further studies are needed to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of improving treatment on outcomes in all three HF phenotypes.
