Popis: Aims The relative impact of each individual coexisting morbidity on the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) is incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of individual cardiac and non‐cardiac coexisting morbidities both in the overall HF population and in the subgroup of HF patients with a single coexisting morbidity, stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) categories, as a measure of the relative contribution of each co‐morbidity to the pathogenesis of HF. Methods and results This is a prospective, observational study, in which unselected ambulatory patients with chronic HF visiting the HF clinic of a tertiary university hospital from January 2016 to January 2019 were classified according to baseline LVEF into three groups: (i) LVEF
