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 کاملIdentifying heart failure hospitalizations: can an automated algorithm become a gold standard?
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [ " hard-core pornography " ]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that. [Emphasis added.] —Justice Potter Stewart, concurring opinion in Jacobellis v. Ohio 378 US ...
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 ...
