Characterizing Heart Failure Across the Spectrum of the Preserved Ejection Fraction: Does Heart Failure With Supranormal Ejection Fraction Exist? Data From the Swedish Heart Failure Registry
Among patients with HF with preserved EF, 21% had EF ≥60%. A higher EF was characterized by more severe symptoms, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertension, female sex, and valvular disease. Crude higher but not adjusted risk of all-cause and noncardiovascular mortality and of all-cause hospitalization was observed with EF values >55%, suggesting that prognostically impactful conditions were more prevalent in the upper bound of the EF spectrum.
