Özet

Background: Heart failure (HF) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Therefore, identifying high-risk patients may optimize treatment for HF patients and reduce adverse events. The aim of this study was to assess the role of the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score to predict mortality in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
