The Prognostic Value of Altitude in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Objective: It is well known that the altitude may affect the cardiovascular system. However, there were a few data related to the effect of altitude on the adverse outcome in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of intermediate high altitude on the major adverse cardiovascular outcome in patients with HFREF.
