Heart failure with reduced, mildly reduced, or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction: Has reasoning been lost?

Figure 3 Incident rate of cardiovascular-related mortality. The rate of cardiovascular (CV)-related mortality per 1000 person-years is presented separately for women (top graph) and men (bottom) according to 5-unit increments in the left ventricular ejection fraction. The total number of deaths contributing to the rate of mortality in each group (red numerals) is provided above the horizontal axis. IQR: Interquartile range.
