Details and patient eligibility

About

Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, this experiment plans to include 924 Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction(HFpEF) patients with increased risk of all-cause death. The enrolled patients will divided into usual care group (n=462) and targeted intervention group (n=462) in a 1:1 ratio. The usual care patients will receive routine heart failure treatment. Patients in targeted intervention group, on top of routine therapy for heart failure, will receive further therapy targeting therapy to correct hypoalbuminemia, anemia or hyponatremia, and try to enhance medication to lower N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), C-reactive protein(CRP), New York Heart Association(NYHA )Classification, to add diuretics for patients with higher right ventricular diameters(RADs),multidiscipline intervention for patients complicating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), and actively reperfusion for ischemic HFpEF patients. The incidence of all-cause death will be compared after 3 years follow-up.The primary endpoint is the occurrence of all-cause mortality events during the follow-up period.

Full description

Our newly finished study developed and validated a risk prediction model for all-cause mortality in patients with HFpEF based on real-world data. The nomogram prediction model included factors such as NT-proBNP, albumin, age, NYHA class III-IV, CRP, RADs, hemoglobin, COPD, hyponatremia, and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(PCI). Discharged HFpEF patients with scores ≥200.37 were found to be associated with increased risk of all-cause death up to 3 years. In this trial, we sought to evaluate the impact of targeted risk factors intervention post-discharge in patients with with scores ≥200.37 on all-cause death up to 3 years.

Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria,We will enroll 924 patients with HFpEF and scores ≥200.37. The enrolled patients will divided into a usual care group (n=462) and targeted intervention group (n=462) in a 1:1 ratio. The usual care group patients will receive routine heart failure treatment, Patients in targeted intervention group, on top of routine therapy for heart failure, will receive further therapy targeting therapy to correct hypoalbuminemia, anemia or hyponatremia, and try to enhance medication to lower NT-proBNP, CRP, NYHA Classification, to add diuretics for patients with higher RADs, multidiscipline intervention for patients complicating COPD, and actively reperfusion for ischemic HFpEF patients. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of all-cause mortality events during the 3 years follow-up period.

---

924 participants in 2 patient groups

usual care group

No Intervention group

Description:

Patients in this group will receive usual medical care for heart failure.

targeted intervention group

Experimental group

Description:

Patients in this group, besides usal medical care for heart failure, will receive targeted therapy: correct hypoalbuminemia, anemia or hyponatremia, and try to enhance medication to lower NT-proBNP, CRP, NYHA Classification, to add diuretics for patients with higher RADs, multidiscipline intervention for patients complicating COPD, and actively reperfusion for ischemic HFpEF patients.

Other: Targeted intervention based on risk factors
