Characteristics of the phenotypes in prevalent and incident cases of heart failure in primary care: IBERICAN study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The management in primary care (PC) of the patients with Heart Failure (HF) is different from the management hospital, in a special way compared to cardiology departments.

Objective

To define the characteristics in both phenotypes of HF in prevalent and incident cases of HF in patients recruited in a large PC sample.

Methods

We proposed a and longitudinal analyses, in patients of the IBERICAN cohort, that recruited 8,066 patients in the Spanish primary care system, with 15,488 patients-years of follow-up. Of them, 252 patients (3.1%) had diagnoses of HF. HF was classified according to the 2014 guidelines in two groups: HF with a reduced eject fraction or HFrEF (LVEF < 50%) and HF with preserved eject fraction or HFpEF (LVEF ≥ 50%). Recommended treatment was
