| Popis: | Background Heart failure (HF), which can be caused by left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), is a growing problem in developed countries with a large aging population. The aim of the present study was to characterize outpatients with LVSD in the adult population (45-84 years) in an urban Japanese community (Niigata City), and delineate their characteristics in comparison with those in a rural one (Sado). Methods and Results Over a 5-year period, 1,297 patients (67% males) with LVSD (defined as ejection fraction ≤50%) were extracted from 87,953 echocardiography records available in 15 hospitals in Niigata City. The proportion of LVSD increased progressively with age (p-for-trend |
