The left panels represent health status trajectories preceding a hospitalization for HF; the right panels represent health status recovery after hospitalization for HF among those who survived to the end of the study. The blue lines represent patients who have experienced a hospitalization for HF; the black lines represent patients who were alive without hospitalization throughout study follow-up.
