Sex-Specific Predictors of Long-Term Mortality in Elderly Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Ischemic heart failure (HF) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the world-wide, but sex-specific predictors of mortality in elderly patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) have been poorly studied. A total of 536 patients with ICMP over 65 years-old (77.8 ± 7.1 years,...

description Ischemic heart failure (HF) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the world-wide, but sex-specific predictors of mortality in elderly patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) have been poorly studied. A total of 536 patients with ICMP over 65 years-old (77.8 ± 7.1 years, 283 males) were followed for a mean of 5.4 years. The development of death during clinical follow up was evaluated, and predictors of mortality were compared. Death was developed in 137 patients (25.6%); 64 females (25.3%) vs. 73 males (25.8%). Low-ejection fraction was only an independent predictor of mortality in ICMP, regardless of sex (HR 3.070 CI = 1.708–5.520 in female, HR 2.011, CI = 1.146–3.527 in male). Diabetes (HR 1.811, CI = 1.016–3.229), elevated e/e’ (HR 2.479, CI = 1.201–5.117), elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (HR 2.833, CI = 1.197–6.704), anemia (HR 1.860, CI = 1.025–3.373), beta blocker non-use (HR2.148, CI = 1.010–4.568), and angiotensin receptor blocker non-use (HR 2.100, CI = 1.137–3.881) were bad prognostic factors of long term mortality in female, whereas hypertension (HR 1.770, CI = 1.024–3.058), elevated Creatinine (HR 2.188, CI = 1.225–3.908), and statin non-use (HR 3.475, CI = 1.989–6.071) were predictors of mortality in males with ICMP independently. Systolic dysfunction in both sexes, diastolic dysfunction, beta blocker and angiotensin receptor blockers in female, and statins in males have important roles for long-term mortality in elderly patients with ICMP. For improving long-term survival in elderly patients with ICMP, it may be necessary to approach sex specifically.
