Validation of R-hf risk score for risk stratification in ischemic heart failure patients: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to validate R-heart failure (R-hf) risk score in ischemic heart failure patients.

Methods

We prospectively recruited a cohort of 179 ischemic and 107 non-ischemic heart failure patients. This study mainly focused on ischemic heart failure patients. Non-ischemic heart failure patients were included for the purpose of validation of the risk score in various heart failure groups. Patients were stratified in high risk, moderate risk and low risk groups according to R-hf risk score.

Results

A total of 179 participants with ischemic heart failure were included. Based on R-hf risk score, 82 had high risk, 50 had moderate risk and 47 had low risk heart failure scores. More than half of the patients having R-hf score of <5 had renal failure
