Prevalence of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in Latin American, Middle Eastern, and North African Regions in the I PREFER Study (Identification of Patients With Heart Failure and PREserved Systolic Function: An Epidemiological Regional Study)

Air pollution and heart failure: Relationship with the ejection fraction

“…Our results show that HF-PEF is common and accounts for a significant proportion of admissions in patients with HF, 35% of our patients. This rate of patients is similar to that reported in previous studies [14,21] . This group of patients had different characteristics from those of patients with HF-REF, including older population, higher proportion of women, and more frequent history of hypertension.…”

“…Hence, 353 patients were included in the study. Patients with ejection fraction of ≥ 45% were classified as having HF-PEF and those with an ejection fraction of < 45% were classified as having HF-REF [14] . The study was planned according to the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the local ethics committee, and all patients provided signed informed consent.…”

Heart Failure Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Overall, 49 published studies [19]–[67] and four unpublished datasets ([68]–[70]; S. Rahimzadeh, F. Farzadfar F, M. Ghaziani, unpublished data) were included; their geographical distribution is presented in Figure 2, and key study characteristics, divided by WHO region, are summarised in Tables 1–6. We obtained unpublished country datasets from the Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Registry (ADHERE)–International [68] regarding Malaysia and the Philippines, as well as the Identification of Patients with Heart Failure and Preserved Systolic Function (I PREFER) registry [70] including Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.…”

2016 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure

“…Długoter-minowe ryzyko pojawienia się objawów HF u osoby w wieku 55 lat wynosi 33% dla mężczyzn i 28% dla kobiet [16]. Odsetek pacjentów z HFpEF waha się między 22% a 73% i zależy od przyjętej definicji, okoliczności klinicznych (opieka podstawowa, oddział dzienny, szpital), wieku i płci badanej populacji, przebytego zawału serca (MI) oraz daty publikacji [17,18,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”
