“…The death rate in our CHF population, 46 % in 4 years, represents a 15 % annual mortality, which is somewhat less than expected considering the high age of our study population. The age-and sex-adjusted relative risk of death with CHF was lower in our study than in the Framingham Heart Study (2.1 in 4 years versus 4-8 in 6 years [8]), but the latter study population contained a larger proportion of acute forms of CHF as only patients developing CHF during follow-up were included. Our survival data agree well with a study of elderly people showing that men aged over 75 years with CHF had a death rate 2.6 times higher than expected during the first year of follow-up but little excess mortality thereafter [24].…”

“…Lack of two-dimensional measurements of left ventricular function is a limitation, but as grossly asymmetric contractions were rare the M-mode data should represent useful indices of left ventricular function. In earlier hospital-based studies, the prevalence of normal systolic function in CHF varied from 41 to 47 % in the elderly [7,8,23,24] and between 30 and 40 % in younger patients [25][26][27]. Recently, preliminary data were reported from the Framingham Heart Study indicating a prevalence of 52 % for echocardiographically normal left ventricular systolic function in individuals with CHF aged, on average, 73 years [28].…”

“…A prevalência de insuficiência cardíaca por disfunção diastólica aumenta com a idade, com uma incidência aproximada de 15 a 25% em pacientes com menos de 60 anos, 35 a 40% naqueles entre 60 e 70 anos e 50% nos acima de 70 anos 10 . O diagnóstico de insuficiência cardíaca por disfunção diastólica geralmente não pode ser distinguido de disfunção sistólica, apenas por meio de história e exame físico, radiografia de tórax e eletrocardiograma 11 .…”

“…In healthy elderly subjects it has been shown that there is an increase in relative heart volume and left ventricular mass, and there is also impaired left ventricular diastolic function with ageing [12,19]. Diastolic dysfunction may also be important in the pathogenesis of CHF in the elderly [20]. In this study we have demonstrated that increased ANP concentrations significantly correlate with mortality in subjects without known cardiovascular disorders, and these individuals may have had an asymptomatic cardiovascular disorder giving rise to increased ANP concentrations but not diagnosed from the medical investigation, ECG or radiograph.…”
