1
Daily mean values and associations between self- reported dyspnea, edema and body weight were determined.
2
Our data emphasize the prognostic importance of even mild self- reported dyspnea for cardiovascular outcomes.
3
On average, subjects with HF reported moderate daily levels of self- reported dyspnea and perceived edema.
4
There were fewer significant positive associations between self- reported dyspnea and body weight and self-reported edema and body weight.
5
Over a follow-up of 19± 5years ,greaterself-reporteddyspnea severity was associated with worse prognosis.
6
We studied the prognostic relevance of self- reported dyspnea for cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality in persons without previously diagnosed cardiopulmonary disease.
