In a Korean cohort of hospitalized heart failure patients, ischemic heart disease was the leading cause, and diabetes, prior MI, atrial fibrillation, and stroke were significant predictors of poor prognosis.
Han et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Congestive heart failure (n=1,047). Previous history of myocardial infarction vs. No previous history of myocardial infarction was evaluated on Poor prognosis (OR 2.044, 95% CI 1.488-2.808, p=<0.0001). Previous history of myocardial infarction was a significant predictor of poor prognosis in patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure (OR 2.044; 95% CI 1.488-2.808; p<0.0001).
