Background And Objective: To assess long-term mortality and prognostic factors after initial diagnosis of heart failure (HF), to analyze the differences in function of the left ventricular ejection fraction (preserved [HFPEF] vs. systolic dysfunction [HFSD]) and to compare the results with the main series of incident cases of HF published.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective cohort study including patients first diagnosed of heart failure (Framingham criteria), between 1-01-1997 and 31-12-2001, classified according to a left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) above or equal to 50% (HFPEF) or below 50% (HFSD).
