Abstract

Objective: Given the prognostic significance of gait speed, there is insufficient evidence about possible functional determinants of gait speed in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the functional determinants of gait speed in patients with HFrEF.
