European Society of Cardiology guidelines and 1 year outcomes of acute heart failure treatment in Central Asia and Europe.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Outcomes reported for patients with hospitalization for acute heart failure (AHF) treatment vary worldwide. Ethnicity-associated characteristics may explain this observation. This observational study compares characteristics and 1-year outcomes of Kyrgyz and Swiss AHF patients against the background of European Society of Cardiology guidelines-based cardiovascular care established in both countries.

The primary endpoint was 1 year all-cause mortality (ACM); the secondary endpoint was 1 year ACM or HF-related rehospitalization. A total of 538 Kyrgyz and 537 Swiss AHF patients were included. Kyrgyz patients were younger (64.0 vs. 83.0 years, P < 0.001); ischaemic or rheumatic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were more prevalent (
