Abstract

Purpose to compare the old patients with chronic heart failure with the new patients in terms of prognosis.Subject & Method: The clinical findings, drugs and prognosis, compared in a group of hospitalized with chronic heart failure over one year 1995(old group, n = 88, age 72.1 ± 12.9 years) and another group for one year 2002(new group, n = 150, age 67.2 ± 14.3 years).Result: There were no significant differences in either group in the LVEF and NYHA. The drugs administered were carperitide (0 vs 84.7 %), ACE-I/ARB (37.5 vs 88.0 %) and beta-blockers (6.8 vs 64.7 %), which were given the new group at a significantly higher. The cumulative survival rate was significantly higher in the new group (P < 0.0001:Fig1).Conclusion: The therapy with carperitide, ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers resulted in a distinct improvement in the prognosis for chronic heart failure.
