Heart Failure: A Severe Risk Factors in Women

Abstract

Elsa Thomas

Heart Failure (HF) hospitalizations are more common in women with Ischemia and No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (INOCA), which is mostly HF with intact Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) with INOCA and long-term prospective follow-up, we wanted to find predictors for the development of heart failure HF in a highly phenotypic population of women. The clinical history, medicines, physical exam, laboratory data, and angiographic data of women recruited in the NHLBI-sponsored Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) were all reviewed. We examined the relationship between baseline variables and the incidence of HF hospitalizations in 493 women with signs of ischemia but no obstructive coronary disease, no prior history of HF, and accessible follow-up data using a multivariate Cox analysis.
