Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities are frequently observed in heart failure patients, complicating the therapeutic management and leading to poor prognosis. The prompt recognition of associated comorbid conditions is of great importance to optimize the clinical management, the follow-up, and the treatment of patients affected by chronic heart failure. Anaemia and iron deficiency are commonly reported in all heart failure forms, have a multifactorial aetiology and are responsible for reduced exercise tolerance, impaired quality of life, and poor long-term prognosis. Diabetes mellitus is highly prevalent in heart failure and a poor glycaemic control is associated with worst outcome. Two specific heart failure forms are usually observed in diabetic patients: an ischaemic cardiomyopathy or a typical diabetic cardiomyopathy. The implementation of use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors will much improve in the near future the long-term prognosis of patients affected by heart failure and diabetes. Among cardiovascular comorbidities, atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmic disease of heart failure patients and it is still not clear whether its presence should be considered as a prognostic indicator or as a marker of advanced disease. The aim of the present review was to explore the clinical and prognostic impact of anaemia and iron deficiency, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation in patients affected by chronic heart failure.

Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the long-term prognosis of long electrocardiographic pauses in the ventricular action is not well-studied. Methods: Consecutive Holter recordings in patients with AF (n=200) between 2009-2011 were evaluated, focusing on pauses of at least 2.5 s. Outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality and pacemaker implantation. Results: Forty-three patients (21.5%) had pauses with a mean of 3.2 s and SD of 0.9 s. After a median follow-up of 99 months (ranging 89-111), 47% (20/43) of the patients with, and 45% (70/157) without pauses were deceased. Pauses of ≥ 2.5 s did not constitute a risk of increased mortality: HR = 0.75; (95% CI: 0.34 - 1.66); p = 0.48. Neither did pauses of ≥ 3.0 s: HR = 0.43; (95% CI: 0.06 - 3.20); p = 0.41. Sixteen percent of patients with pauses underwent pacemaker implantation during follow-up. Only pauses in patients referred to Holter due to syncope and/or dizzy spells were associated with an increased risk of pacemaker treatment: HR = 4.7 (95% CI: 1.4-15.9), p = 0.014, adjusted for age, sex and rate-limiting medication. Conclusion: In patients with AF, prolonged electrocardiographic pauses of ≥ 2.5 s or ≥ 3.0 s are not a marker for increased mortality in this real-life clinical study.

Background: Acute heart failure is a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Short term and long term prognosis of these patients is poor. Therefore, early identification of patients at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during hospitalization was needed to improve outcome. Creatinine levels at admission could be used as predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events in acute heart failure patients because creatinine is a simple and routine biomarker of renal function examined in patients with acute heart failure. This study aimed to determine whether creatinine can be used as a predictor of major adverse adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute heart failure.Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study of 108 acute heart failure patients treated at H. Adam Malik Hospital from July 2018 to January 2019. Creatinine cut-off points were determined using the ROC curve, then bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed to determine predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization.Results: From 108 study subjects, 24 (22.2%) subjects experienced major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization. The subjects who died were 20 people (83.4%), subjects with arrhythmia were 2 people (8.3%), and those who had stroke were 2 people (8.3 %). Through the ROC curve analysis, we found creatinine cut-off values of ≥1.7 mg / dl (AUC 0.899, 95% CI 0.840- 0.957, p <0.05). Creatinine ≥1.7 mg/dl could predict major adverse cardiovascular events with a sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 79.5%. Multivariate analysis showed that creatinine ≥1.7 mg / dl was an independent factor to predict MACEs during hospitalization in this study (OR 18,310, p 0.001) as well as creatinine clearance and heart rate.Conclusion: Creatinine levels at admission is an independent predictor for major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization in acute heart failure patients.
