Cohen, Lana Tsao Abstract: The association between low blood pressure and prognosis in the general population has been controversial, with some reports suggesting an increased mortality for patients with the lowest blood pressures. Whereas many standard heart failure therapies decrease blood pressure, the relationship between mortality and blood pressure in patients with heart failure has not been previously evaluated.
