  1. Raised heart rate at discharge after acute heart failure is an independent mortality predictor

  2. Objective: • To analyze the relationship between heart rate at discharge and mortality in patients admitted for acute heart failure • Methods: • National survey in a randomized sample of 170 hospitals in France • N = 1658 patients hospitalized for acute heart failure Logeart D et al; OFICA Study Group. [ESC abstract P2775]. Eur Heart J. 2012;33(abstract suppl):485.

  3. One-yearmortality after discharge is high One-yearmortality = 32.9% Causes of one-year mortality Logeart D et al; OFICA Study Group. [ESC abstract P2775]. Eur Heart J. 2012;33(abstract suppl):485.

  4. Raised heart rate at discharge after acute heart failure is an independent mortality predictor P=0.028 One-year mortality (%) Logeart D et al; OFICA Study Group. [ESC abstract P2775]. Eur Heart J. 2012;33(abstract suppl):485.

  5. Take-home messages: • One-year mortality after discharge is high in patients admitted for acute heart failure. • More than half of deaths (56%) are due to heart failure and 16% due to sudden death. • Raised heart rate at discharge after acute heart failure is an independent mortality predictor and should be further taken into account in postdischarge management of heart failure patients. Logeart D et al; OFICA Study Group. [ESC abstract P2775]. Eur Heart J. 2012;33(abstract suppl):485.
