Abstract excerpt
Heart failure (HF) affects 6.7 million people in the US and includes two major subtypes, HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), with distinct genetic architectures. We meta-analyze genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 38,781 HFrEF cases, 38,163 HFpEF cases, and 526,135 controls across European, African, Hispanic, and Asian ancestries using the Million...
