Our findings support the role of PTT in assessing HF risk among patients with broad spectrum of cardiac conditions with reduced as well as preserved ejection fraction. Longer PTT duration is an incremental risk factor for HF when baseline global longitudinal strain and NT-proBNP are taken into consideration.
