GOMEZ-MESA, Juan E. e GRUPO INVESTIGADOR RECOLFACA et al. Colombian registry of heart failure (RECOLFACA): results. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.4, pp.334-344. Epub 18-Out-2021. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m21000063.
Introduction:
Heart failure (HF) is a public health problem worldwide. In Latin America, incidence is 199 / 100,000 person-year and prevalence is ≈1%. In Colombia, few studies have described the sociodemographic and clinical behavior of patients with acutely decompensated HF (ADHF) and chronic HF (CHF).
Method:
A multicenter registry was implemented to identify characteristics that can help in the planning and development of secondary prevention and treatment strategies for this population.
Results:
2528 patients were included. 57.59% men, average age 69 years. The main comorbidity was arterial hypertension (72.04%). The main causes of HF decompensation were disease progression (35.00%) and insufficient treatment (19.09%). The most frequent etiology was ischemic (43.99%). At the time of admission, 86.95% of patients received beta-blocker, 67.25% received diuretics, 55.66% received MRA, 42.41% received ARB-II, 33.66% received ACEI, and 9.73% received ARNI.
Conclusions:
Patients with HF in Colombia are similar to those described by other HF registries in the western world, highlighting the use of evidence-based therapies. A lower proportion of atrial fibrillation was documented, with a higher frequency of moderate-severe systolic dysfunction and an apparent suboptimal use of implantable devices.
