Overview of Study Findings

Findings in the Present Analysis of ADHF Patients
Moderate or severe MR prevalence among the ADHF population stratified by LVEF is:  LVEF <50%: 44%  LVEF ≥50%: 27%
Females are more likely than males to have higher MR severity, regardless of LVEF.
Among ADHF patients with an LVEF ≥50%, moderate or severe MR is more likely in White patients than in black patients.
Moderate or severe MR is independently associated with all-cause mortality at 1 yr after hospitalization in ADHF patients with an LVEF <50%, but not in those with an LVEF ≥50%.
