Patterns of Comorbidity in Older Adults with Heart Failure: The Cardiovascular Research Network PRESERVE Study

To examine whether the total burden of comorbidity and pattern of co‐occurring conditions varies in individuals with heart failure (HF) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HF‐P) or HF with reduced LVEF (HF‐R).
