Abstract

Purpose: To find out the mortality prognostic value of systolic pulmonary artery pressure and some other factors in patients with left heart failure with reduced EF. Subjects:116 patients hospitalized for heart failure with reduced EF at Vietnam Heart Institute, Bach Mai Hospital from August 2017 to October 2018. Results: average age 61.2 ± 15.5 years, average follow-up time 5.7 ± 2.2 months. Mortality rate 18.1%. Average EF: 26.7 ± 5.8%. Average ALDMP: 49.1 ± 14.7 mmHg. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure ³38mmHg has predictive value for death with HR= 2.01 (95%CI:1.03-5.56). Systolic pulmonary artery pressure predicts the risk of death with AUC = 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77 - 0.92), a cutoff point of 60 mmHg has a sensitivity of 71.4% and specificity of 83.6%. Conclusion: Pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart failure is an independent predictor of mortality.
