Co‐morbidities in patients with heart failure: an analysis of the European Heart Failure Pilot Survey

Co‐morbidities frequently accompany heart failure (HF), contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, and an impairment of quality of life. We assessed the prevalence, determinants, regional variation, and prognostic implications of co‐morbidities in patients with chronic HF in Europe.
