مستخلص: | Purpose : Acute heart failure (AHF) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and the prognosis is particularly poor in older patients. Although the application of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has shown a positive impact on prognosis, the effects are less clear in older age groups. The aim of this study was to analyze real-world data regarding GDMT and outcomes in older HF patients. Methods : This is a prospective cohort study from a secondary care hospital in central Switzerland. A total of 97 consecutive patients aged ≥60 years were enrolled between January 2019 and 2022. The main outcome parameters were prescribed GDMT at discharge, and in case of rehospitalization, GDMT at readmission, and survival in terms of all-cause mortality and HF-related hospitalizations during a 3-year follow-up period. Results : Follow-up data were available for 93/97 patients. The mean age was 77.8 ± 9.8 years, 46% being female. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 35.3 ± 13.9%, with a mean BNP level of 2204.3 ± 239 ng/L. Upon discharge, 86% received beta-blockers and 76.3% received renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. At rehospitalization for AHF, beta-blockers use was significantly lower and decreased to 52.8% ( p = 0.003), whereas RAS inhibitor use increased slightly to 88.9% ( p = 0.07), and SGLT-2 inhibitors showed a significant increase from 5.4% vs. 47.2% ( p = 0.04). GDMT prescription was not dependent on LVEF. Overall, 73.1% of patients received two-stage or three-stage GDMT at discharge, whereas this percentage decreased to 61% at rehospitalization ( p = 0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis for the combined outcome rehospitalization and death stratified by LV function showed significant differences between LVEF groups (aHR: 0.6 [95% CI: 0.44 to 0.8]; p = 0.0023). Conclusions : Our results indicate that first, the majority of older AHF patients from a secondary care hospital in Switzerland were not on optimal GDMT at discharge and even fewer at readmission, and second, that prognosis of the population is still poor, with almost half of the patients having been rehospitalized or died during a 3-year follow-up period under real-world conditions, without significant difference between women and men. Our findings underline the need for further improvements in the medical treatment of AHF, in particular in older patients, to improve prognosis and to reduce the burden of disease. |
