Prognosis for heart failure patients

    • ABSTRACT - Johns Hopkins University

      The heart failure (HF) prevalence is 5.7 million costing $30.7 billion (Mozaffarian et al., 2014) annually with the majority of the costs attributable to rehospitalization. Rehospitalizations among patients with HF (HF patients) are common due to a HF disease trajectory characterized by sudden, acute exacerbations of illness (Goldstein & Lynn ...

      Heart failure is an increasingly common disorder with prevalence about 2% in developed countries.It is charectarised by poor prognosis and quality of life to patient and is responsible for high healthcare cost6

      In patients with preserved ejection fraction >50%,or diastolic heart failure, the evidence base for treatment remains unclear. Risk factors. Age > 65, IHD, HT, AF, valvular heart disease, renal failure, anaemia, thyrotoxicosis, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Diagnosis of suspected Heart failure. If . previous MI – refer within 2 weeks

      In terms of morbidity and mortality, patients living with HF have a poor long-term prognosis. Heart failure causes 8.5% of all deaths related to cardiovascular disease (Benjamin et al., 2018). Following HF diagnosis, 50% of patients are expected to be dead within 5 years (Benjamin et al., 2018)

      Heart Failure Rotation: General goals: The goal of the heart failure rotation is to train fellows in the care of patients with advanced heart failure with both reduced and preserved ejection fraction due to multiple etiologies. Fellows should learn the interpretation and application of invasive hemodynamics and pharmacologic therapy for heart failure.

      Training includes management of patients with advanced heart failure, including evaluating prognosis, performance and interpretation of cardiopulmonary stress testing, management of patients requiring invasive hemodynamic monitoring and intravenous inotropic/pressor agents and the assessment of candidacy for heart transplant.

      Congestive Heart Failure. Diseased myocardium caused by previous MI, ischemic heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, structural aberrations of the heart, and cardiomyopathy.

      Mental acuity is impaired when less oxygen gets to the brain. Symptomatic heart failure has a poor prognosis; most people don’t recover, they learn to live with their disease. Only a select group qualifies for heart transplant, more will qualify for other advanced therapies. As Americans age, the incidence of people with heart failure is ...

      Indications: diagnosis of CAD, risk assessment and prognosis among patients with symptoms or known CAD, post-MI. In low risk patients, testing can be performed when patients have been free of active ischemic or heart failure symptoms for a minimum of 8-12 hours and have ruled out for myocardial infarction.

      Example 5 (Prognosis): In heart failure patients, a minimal change in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels upon initiation of therapy is associated with a low risk of mortality. Example 6 (Prediction): For chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients undergoing imatinib treatment, significant decrease of BCR-ABL mRNA levels over time is ...

      In stable CHF patients-- that development of new anemia is frequent and portends a poor prognosis that is associated with increasing risk of death and hospitalization. It's interesting that the mechanism for the link between anemia and poor outcomes in congestive heart failure is not entirely accounted for by underlying coronary heart disease ...

      Heart failure portends a worse prognosis. Nearly all patients had developed tachyarrythmias by age 50. 20% of patients experienced cerebrovascular accidents at point of last follow-up. In patients born after January 1985, intervention, including Fontan completion occurred at an earlier age.
