Abstrakt: Background: Heart failure (HF) has a poor prognosis. Patients with acute heart failure in particular have a high risk of dying. However, there is a lack of data regarding their long-term mortality and changes there-in with time. The aim of our study was to describe trends in short- and long-term mortality of patients hospitalized with acute HF in the period from 1985 through 2008. In addition, we determined the prognostic worth of the aetiology of HF.
Methods and Results: We included a consecutive series of 1810 patients with acute HF in this prospective registry in the period of 1985 through 2008. The cumulative one-year mortality rate of the patients was 35%. The short-term prognosis remained unchanged over the decades. However, the cumulative mortality rate ten years after admission was lowest in the last decade (73% in 2000-2008 vs. 78% in 1985-1999, p=0.001). After multivariable adjustment, the ten-year mortality rate was lower in the last decade as compared to the first decade (hazard ratio (HR) 0.83; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71-0.96). Ischemic cardiomyopathy was associated with a higher mortality (HR 1.32; 95% CI 1.12-1.54) when compared to other causes of HF.
Conclusions: Patients admitted with acute HF were found to have both high short-term and long-term mortality. Long-term prognostic improvement in the last decade was observed among patients with a reduced ejection fraction. While patients with HF due to valvular heart disease had the best prognosis, an ischemic aetiology of HF was associated with the worst outcome.
