Genetic Associations: Genetic testing was conducted in 67.8% (n = 414) of patients, revealing pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in 60.4% (n = 250) of tested cases. Familial disease was identified in 47.3% (n = 253) of patients.

Lower blood pressures mean lower workload for the heart and lower risk of left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. Though blood pressure rises progressively with increasing exercise, it reduces the resting blood pressure in the long run.

But while compressing here in a patient with heart failure, it can elicit pain because there could be tender hepatomegaly in patients with heart failure.

Some of the reasons cited are that, those who are likely to develop ventricular arrhythmias, that is basically those with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction, are also more prone for heart failure deaths as well as higher ischemic burden, soon after myocardial infarction. That is one reason.
