Figure 4.

(A) Compared with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients with normal right ventricular function at Exam 1, those with right ventricular dysfunction displayed increased mortality. (B) Of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction subjects with normal right ventricular function at baseline (n = 238), patients who developed right ventricular dysfunction had higher mortality rates than those who maintained right ventricular function overtime. HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; RVD, right ventricular dysfunction.
