Prognosis of Advanced Heart Failure Patients according to Their Hemodynamic Profile Based on the Modified Forrester Classification.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Heart transplantation (HT) remains the gold-standard treatment but is conditioned by organ shortage. This study aimed to evaluate the value of Forrester classification and determine which congestion criteria had the best prognostic value to predict cardiorenal events on heart transplant waiting list.

Methods and results

One hundred consecutive patients (54 years old, 72% men) with available right heart catheterization (RHC) listed in our center for HT between 2014 and 2019 were included. Cardiac catheterization measurements were obtained at the time of HT listing evaluation. Patients were classified according to perfusion and congestion status in four groups: "warm and dry", "warm and wet", "cold and dry", and "cold and wet". pWet was used to classify patients w
