Sex was a significant factor in determining the follow-up trajectory of LVEF and predicting differences in outcomes after an AHF admission. The findings suggest that women have a higher risk of AHF readmissions at higher LVEF values, while men have a higher risk at lower LVEF values. For all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, the same direction of the association was inferred but they were not significant.
