Whether prevalence and mortality of patients with heart failure preserved or mid-range (40–49%) ejection fraction (HFpEF HFmREF) are similar to those reduced (HFrEF), as reported in some epidemiologic studies, remains highly controversial. We determined compared characteristics outcomes for HFpEF, HFmREF, HFrEF a prospective, international, multi-ethnic population. Prospective multi-centre longitudinal study New Zealand (NZ) Singapore. Patients HF were assessed at baseline followed over 2...
Left atrial (LA) and ventricular (LV) functional impairment often co-exist in patients with heart failure (HF). However, some HF have a disproportionate LA or LV dysfunction. We aimed to characterize predominant myopathy cohort of chronic across the spectrum ejection fraction (LVEF). From nationwide, prospective, multi-center, observational cohort, transthoracic echocardiographic examination was performed on each patient. reservoir strain global longitudinal (LVGLS) were measured using...
To define plasma concentrations, determinants, and optimal prognostic cut-offs of soluble suppression tumorigenesis-2 (sST2), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in women men with chronic heart failure (HF).Individual data patients from the Biomarkers In Heart Failure Outpatient Study (BIOS) Consortium sST2, hs-cTnT, NT-proBNP measured were analysed. The primary endpoint was a composite 1 year cardiovascular death HF...
Abstract Aims The importance of iron deficiency (ID) in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unknown. In HF reduced (HFrEF), ID reported as an independent predictor mortality although not all published studies agree. Different definitions have been assessed, and the natural history untreated established, which may explain conflicting results. This study aimed to assess relationship between HFpEF, clarify definition correlates best outcomes HFrEF, determine prognostic...
Influenza is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. We aimed to examine the influenza-associated hospitalization rates proportions for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in tropical Singapore. Hospital admissions ischemic heart (IHD), congestive failure (CHF), overall CVD were obtained from national inpatient database period 2010-2014. used, as key indicator influenza virus activity, proportion specimens outpatients with influenza-like illness community that tested positive part surveillance...
Objective Ethnic differences in the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) heart failure (HF) remain unclear. We compared and clinical correlates AF among different ethnicities an Asian-Pacific population with HF. Methods Patients validated HF were prospectively studied across Singapore New Zealand (NZ). Results Among 1746 patients (62% Asian, 26% women, mean age 66 (SD 13) years, ejection fraction (EF) 37 16%), 39% had AF. The was markedly lower Singapore-Asians than NZ-Europeans (24% vs...
