The relation between socioeconomic status and invasive haemodynamics at evaluation for advanced heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Socioeconomic deprivation is a risk marker for worse prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF), and a potential barrier to referral for advanced HF evaluation. The relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and invasive haemodynamics in patients undergoing evaluation for advanced HF therapies is unknown.

Methods

We combined a consecutive clinical registry of patients evaluated for advanced HF with patient-level data on SES (household income, education, workforce status, cohabitant status and distance from home to tertiary HF centre) derived from nationwide registries. Using this information, the cohort was divided into groups of low-, medium- and high degree of socioeconomic deprivation. The associations between SES and invasive haemodynamics were explored with
