Prediction of Emergent Heart Failure Death by Semi-Quantitative Triage Risk Stratification
OBJECTIVES Generic triage risk assessments are widely used in the emergency department (ED), but have not been validated for prediction of short-term risk among patients with acute heart failure (HF). Our objective was to evaluate the Canadian Triage Acuity Scale (CTAS) for prediction of early death among HF patients. METHODS We included patients presenting with HF to an ED in Ontario from Ap...
متن کاملRisk stratification in chronic heart failure.
Despite advances in medical and surgical management, the prognosis of chronic heart failure remains poor. Few patients with chronic heart failure can be considered to have a good prognosis, but different trials have indicated a 6 month mortality between 5% and 60% depending on the severity of heart failure; identifying patients at truly low risk is difficult. A host of factors have been identif...
متن کاملStratification of the Risk of Sudden Death in Nonischemic Heart Failure
Despite significant therapeutic advancements, heart failure remains a highly prevalent clinical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In 30%-40% patients, the etiology of heart failure is nonischemic. The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is capable of preventing sudden death and decreasing total mortality in patients with nonischemic heart failure. However, ...
متن کاملRisk stratification and prevention of sudden death in patients with heart failure.
OPINION STATEMENT For almost the past decade, recommendations for the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death have been based upon the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Current guidelines recommend an ICD for heart failure patients with LVEF ≤35% and NYHA functional class of II or III; however, because the majority of heart f...
متن کاملAcute heart failure risk stratification: can we define low risk?
The emergency department evaluation and management of patients who have potential acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS) has remained a significant challenge for decades. The emergency physician's diagnostic tools for heart failure have remained limited, and the complexity of the syndrome itself has led to risk-averse practice styles with extremely high admission rates. Recently, new diagnostic m...
