Heart failure (HF) is classified into three clinical subtypes: HF with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF: EF >= 50%), HF with a mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF: 40 = 75 years (hazard ratio 2.14, 95% confidence interval 1.32-3.58, P < 0.01) and the plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level >= 341 pg/ml (hazard ratio 1.60, 95% confidence interval 1.07-2.39, P < 0.05) were associated with SSEs. The EF was not an independent predictor of SSEs (hazard ratio 1.01, 95% confidence interval 0.98-1.04, P = 0.51). There were no significant differences in the rates of SSEs between AF-HFpEF and AF-HFrEF. Patients with HF and concomitant AF should be treated with anticoagulants irrespective of EF.
