Abstract
Background:
Heart failure is heterogeneous in aetiology, pathophysiology and presentation. Despite this diversity, clinical trials of patients hospitalized for HF deal with this problem as a single entity, which may be one reason for repeated failures.
Methods:
First EuroHeart Failure Survey screened consecutive deaths and discharges of patients with suspected heart failure during 2000-2001. Patients were sorted into seven mutually exclusive hierarchical presentations: 1) with cardiac arrest/ ventricular arrhythmia; 2): with acute coronary syndrome; 3) with rapid atrial fibrillation; 4) with acute breathlessness; 5) with other symptoms/signs such as peripheral oedema ; 6) with stable symptoms and 7) others in whom the contribution of HF to admission was not clear.
Results:
The 10,701 patients enrolled were classified into the above seven presentations as follows:- 260 (2%), 560 (5%), 799 (8%), 2,479 (24%), 1,040 (10%), 703 (7%), and 4,691 (45%) for which index-admission mortality was 26%, 20%, 10%, 8%, 6%, 6% and 4% respectively. Compared to those in group 7, the hazard ratios for death during the index admission were 4.9 (p= <0.001), 4.0 (p<0.001), 2.2 (p<0.001), 2.1 (p<0.001), 1.4 (p<0.04) and 1.4 (p=0.04) respectively. These differences were no longer statistically significant by 12 weeks.
Conclusion:
There is great diversity in the presentation of heart failure that is associated with very different short-term outcomes. Only a minority of hospitalizations associated with suspected heart failure are associated with acute breathlessness. This should be taken into account in the design of future clinical trials. Key words: Acute heart failure, Presentation of Heart failure, Mortality.
