Body Mass Index: An Effective Predictor of Ejection Fraction Improvement in Heart Failure

Body Mass Index: An Effective Predictor of Ejection Fraction Improvement in Heart Failure

Background: Heart failure patients with higher body mass index (BMI) exhibit better clinical outcomes. Therefore, we assessed whether the BMI can predict left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) improvement following heart failure.Methods and Results: We included 184 patients newly diagnosed with dil...
