Background: In developed countries, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is more prevalent than heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the community. However, it has not been completely established if this fact is also observed within our community.
Objective: To determine the most prevalent form of heart failure (HFpEF or HFrEF) and whether the prevalence of HFpEF is higher in the community.
