What are the independent prognostic factors for mortality in patients with congestive heart failure?

Population

190 patients under 76 years of age (mean 64 years) with congestive heart failure (CHF). Aetiology: ischaemic heart disease 66%, hypertension 11%, cardiomyopathy 23%. Median LVEF 0.30. NYHA class I 8%, II 46%, III 44%, IV 2%.

Outcome

Mortality at 2 yearshard clinical

In patients with congestive heart failure, LVEF, NYHA class, and exercise variables provide strong independent prognostic information for mortality.
