Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and predictive factors of the development of heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) category during a 1 year follow-up period in a heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patient population managed in a heart failure outpatient clinic.
Methods And Results: The study evaluated data from patients enrolled in the Hungarian Heart Failure Registry (HHFR). The incidence and predictive factors of the development of the HFimpEF category after 1 year follow-up were assessed in the group of patients who had HFrEF at baseline.
Article Synopsis
- Heart failure poses significant health risks and costs due to frequent hospitalizations, necessitating high-quality care and disease-specific registries for better management and evaluation.
- The Hungarian Society of Cardiology has initiated the Hungarian Heart Failure Registry to collect comprehensive data on heart failure patients, aiming for a web-based database involving 2,000 patients from 17 cardiology departments.
- Preliminary results from 698 enrolled patients show a predominance of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (87.8%), predominantly of ischemic origin, with common co-morbidities including hypertension and diabetes, and treatment largely involving ACE inhibitors or ARBs.
