Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 799-808, April 2025.
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
