Clinical evaluation of geriatric outpatients with suspected heart failure: value of symptoms, signs, and additional tests.

abstract：AIMS:Over the last 30 years, many medicine development programmes in acute and chronic heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have failed, in contrast to those in HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We explore how the neutral results in larger HF trials may be attributable to chance and/or t...
