P1815 Pbkp_rediction of sudden death in outpatients with heart failure: a bio-clinical approach

Abstract:

Background: Although prevalence of sudden death (SD) has declined during last decade in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) its pbkp_rediction remains a difficult challenge, not only for the diversity of parameters possibly associated with it and the difficulty of selecting the most influent but also the need of threshing from other causes of death, currently more frequent in HF patients. Purpose: To assess the prevalence of SD at 5 years in a real-life cohort of patients managed according to international guidelines and closely followed and to find a simple prognostic pbkp_redictive model of SD. Methods: Competing risk strategy using the Gray method was adopted in Cox regressions analyses, considering non-cardiovascular and other cardiovascular causes of death as the competing event. Statistics-C were also calculated taking into account competitive risk and time-to-event outcome. SD was considered any unexpected …
