Systolic Blood Pressure and 1-Year Clinical Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High systolic blood pressure (SBP) is an important risk factor for the progression of heart failure (HF); however, the association between SBP and prognosis among patients with established HF was uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between SBP and long-term clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for HF.

Methods

This study prospectively enrolled adult patients hospitalized for HF in 52 hospitals from 20 provinces in China. SBPs were measured in a stable condition judged by clinicians during hospitalization before discharge according to the standard research protocol. The primary outcomes included 1-year all-cause death and HF readmission. The multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were fitted to examine the association b
