Clusters based on extra‐cardiac features in 603 patients with HF. Viscovery SOMine 7.2 placed all subjects on a specific position on the map based on their profile of comorbidities. The more subjects resemble in terms of their comorbidities, the closer they are on the map. When looking at individual comorbidities or characteristics, subjects are coloured red if the comorbidity is present and blue when it is absent. Males are coloured red in the corresponding map picture, females blue. In this way, the maps can be interpreted. Viscovery SOMine 7.2 identified five different clusters of patients with HF with a significant different profile of comorbidities (95% confidence interval). The cluster borders are drawn as thick lines on the map pictures. Definition of clusters: C1 = least comorbidities, C2 = cachectic/implosive, C3 = metabolic diabetes, C4 = metabolic renal, C5 = psychologic. FFMI, fat‐free mass index.
