Risk of Death Associated with Incident Heart Failure in Patients with Known or Suspected Chronic Coronary Syndrome

ESC Heart FailPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In patients with CCS, long-term rates of incident HF were higher than MI and stroke. Patients with new-onset HF showed a higher risk of long-term mortality.

Study context

Population
Heart failure (HF)-free patients with known or suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
Participants
5,811 consecutive HF-free patients
Exposure
Incident HF vs myocardial infarction (MI) vs stroke
Outcome
Incidence of HF and long-term mortality risk after HF compared with MI and stroke
Methodological detailsconsecutive patients, Markov illness-death model
