A Critical Evaluation of the Representation of Black Patients With Heart Failure Preserved Ejection Fraction in Clinical Trials: A Literature Review.
DISCUSSION:: Although the mortality rate for black patients with HFpEF is 30% to 45% higher than the rate for white patients, 2 of the 9 studies did not have a representative sample of the general HFpEF population and none of the studies reported the objective of establishing a representative study population.
