Why the study?
The study sought to estimate mortality and morbidity in diabetic acute heart failure patients stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction in the Middle East.
In diabetic patients with acute heart failure in the Middle East, HFrEF is associated with higher 3-month mortality compared to HFpEF, but 1-year mortality and re-hospitalization rates are similar across all ejection fraction strata.
OBJECTIVES: We sought to estimate the mortality and morbidity in diabetic acute heart failure (AHF) patients stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction. METHODS: We analyzed the data of patients with AHF from seven Middle Eastern countries (Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia) from February to November 2012, who were enrolled in a multinational registry of patients with heart failure (HF). RESULTS: 0.335). CONCLUSIONS: EF. However, there were no significant differences in mortality at one-year follow-up between the HF groups. There were also no significant differences in re-hospitalization rates between the HF groups not only at three months but also at one-year follow-up in the Middle East.
