Distribution and prognostic impact of different heart failure etiologies in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction: Etiology in heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction.
The study investigates the characteristics and prognostic impact of different heart failure (HF) etiologies in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). ⋯ ICM is the most common etiology of HF in HFmrEF and may be associated with favorable outcomes. This may be related to better adherence to pharmacological treatment and improved revascularization strategies for HFmrEF patients with ICM.
