INFLUENCE OF LEFT VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION ON CAUSE-SPECIFIC MORTALITY IN HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION: THE TOPCAT TRIAL

Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is principal determinant of cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the impact of EF on cause specific death in HFpEF is unknown. We utilized TOPCAT data to assess the relationship between EF and cause...
