| Summary: | Aim. To study clinico-demographical characteristics of the patients with decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF). Material and methods. The analysis included the data of 112 patients hospitalised at Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 68 due to decompensated CHF. The follow-up period lasted 30 days. Results. The mean age of the patients (33 % men, 67 % women) was 70,3±9,9 years. Older age (>70 years) was significantly more prevalent in women than in men (р=0,005). The main reason for CHF decompensation was inadequate pre-hospital therapy. The mean duration of the in-hospital treatment was 17,5±6,4 days. The level of 30-day fatality was 12,5 % (n=14). According to correlation analysis results, systolic blood pressure (SBP) level <100 mm Hg positively correlated with 30-day fatality (r=0,4; р=0,0001). Hemoglobin level <100 g/l also positively correlated with 30-day fatality (r=0,3; р=0,05). Conclusion. The prevalence of decompensated CHF is higher in women. Compared to men, women develop CHF in more advanced age. The main fatality-associated factors were low hemoglobin level, SBP <100 mm Hg, and age >70 years. The leading causes of death were pulmonary thromboembolism and diuretic therapy resistance. |
