Zhao Q, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers investigated the impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemic stroke (IS) among hospitalized, newly-diagnosed heart failure (HF) patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Among 22,230 HF with LVSD patients, they identified CAD in 15,827 (71.2%) patients. HF with LVSD patients with CAD were more frequently younger (aged 79.8 vs 80.9 years), male (49.6% vs. 35.6%), white (86.2% vs 81.4%), and had more prevalent comorbidities, including hypertension (80.7% vs 74.3%), hyperlipidemia (67.7% vs 46.7%), and diabetes (46.3% vs 35.8%) vs those without CAD, but had similar all-cause mortality.
