Totally 167 patients were admitted at cardiology ward in Villa Scassi hospital, Genoa, Italy. We worked with two control groups: heart failure 59 patients (mean age: 71.37 ± 13.27 years) and chronic-ischemic heart disease 108 patients (mean age: 68.85 ± 11.3 years). Nine parameters: Hb, Serum Creatinine, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, ALT, AST, hs-cTnI, CRP were evaluated onset to hospitalization. We aimed to identify significant independent predictors relative to the outcome of heart failure versus chronic-ischemic heart disease and select combination of biochemical parameters in logistic regression-based model that would provide on average excellent discrimination to the outcome of heart failure versus chronic-ischemic heart disease in elderly population. |
