Underlying, immediate, and contributing causes of death (3 key elements of the World Health Organization classification) were adjudicated by a 3-physician review panel. During 1971 to 2004, 1025 participants with HF died (499 men, mean [SD] age at death 79 [11] years), including 463 participants with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) data. Cardiovascular disease was the cause of death in 66.1% overall. Stratified by LVEF, cardiovascular deaths occurred in 44.5% and 69.9% of those with preserved and reduced LVEF, respectively. Presence of reduced LVEF increased the risk of cardiovascular death, with odds ratios of 3.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.73 to 5.78) in men and 2.39 (95% CI, 1.39 to 4.08) in women. Prior myocardial infarction was associated with increased cardiovascular death in women with HF (odds ratio, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.10 to 3.16) but not in men. The risk of cardiovascular disease death decreased in women (odds ratio after 1980, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.69) and men (odds ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.41 to 1.07,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.095) with HF over time.
