Women with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 20% have better prognosis than men

Women with advanced heart failure have better prognosis than men (men versus women HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1–5.5, p = 0.03). Although interaction ischemic heart disease-gender was not significant, HR was 1.6 (95% CI 0.5–5.6, p = 0.43) for patients with coronary artery disease and 3.4 (95% CI 1.1–10.5, p = 0.03) for patients without.
