Subclinical Myocardial Injury and the Phenotype of Clinical Congestion in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Clinical congestion is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure. The pathophysiological mediators of this association remain uncertain.We prospectively enrolled a cohort of patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and performed a detailed clinical examination followed on the same day by an invasive right heart catheterization and blood sampling for biomarkers. High-sensitivity troponin T...
