Thrombocytopaenia as a Prognostic Indicator in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Background Studies suggest that thrombocytopaenia is associated with a higher mortality in several diseases. Little is known about the effect of low platelet count on mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The aim of this study was to determine the prognosti...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Studies suggest that thrombocytopaenia is associated with a higher mortality in several diseases. Little is known about the effect of low platelet count on mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of thrombocytopaenia in these patients by assessing all-cause mortality. Methods A total of 1,907 patients with HFrEF, defined by left ventricular ejection fraction
