Abstract
Background: Restrictive filling pattern (RFP) has been linked to prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and post-AMI. We recently showed in two literature-based meta-analyses (LMA) that the presence of RFP was associated with a 4-fold increase in the risk of death in both groups. This similar analysis evaluated the link between RFP and morbidity. Methods: We searched online databases for prospective studies of patients post-AMI and with CHF. HF events, defined as development of HF for patients post-AMI and HF readmission in patients with existing CHF, were compared between RFP and non-RFP.
