The changing landscape of heart failure hospitalizations.
Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem. In the mid-1990s, temporal trends from vital statistics appeared so alarming that the hypothesis of a new epidemic of HF was formulated (1). Subsequent studies that formally investigated the epidemic demonstrated that the incidence of HF had not changed appreciably in the past 2 decades, and that survival, although still poor, had improved (2...
متن کاملCombined Heart Failure Device Diagnostics Identify Patients at Higher Risk of Subsequent Heart Failure Hospitalizations
Methods The PARTNERS HF (Program to Access and Review Trending Information and Evaluate Correlation to Symptoms in Patients With Heart Failure) was a prospective, multicenter observational study in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. HF events were independently adjudicated. A combined HF device diagnostic algorithm was developed o...
متن کاملHeart Failure Re-Admission: Measuring the Ever Shortening Gap between Repeat Heart Failure Hospitalizations
Many quality-of-care and risk prediction metrics rely on time to first rehospitalization even though heart failure (HF) patients may undergo several repeat hospitalizations. The aim of this study is to compare repeat hospitalization models. Using a population-based cohort of 40,667 patients, we examined both HF and all cause re-hospitalizations using up to five years of follow-up. Two models we...
متن کاملHeart Failure Eplerenone in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure and Mild Symptoms Analysis of Repeat Hospitalizations
Background—Eplerenone is known to reduce time to first hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure and mild symptoms. In chronic diseases such as heart failure, characterized by repeat hospitalizations, analyzing all heart failure hospitalizations, not just the first, should give a more complete picture of treatment benefits. Methods and Results—The ...
متن کاملLifetime costs of medical care after heart failure diagnosis.
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) care constitutes an increasing economic burden on the health care system, and has become a key focus in the health care debate. However, there are limited data on the lifetime health care costs for individuals with HF after initial diagnosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Olmsted County residents with incident HF from 1987 to 2006 were identified. Direct medical costs incu...
