Differential Associations of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases With Incident Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to compare the risks of incident heart failure (HF) among a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) and to determine whether risks varied by severity of inflammation within each CID.

Background

Individuals with CIDs are at elevated risk for cardiovascular diseases, but data are limited regarding risk for HF.

Methods

An electronic health records database from a large urban medical system was examined, comparing individuals with CIDs with frequency-matched controls without CIDs, all of whom were receiving regular outpatient care. Rates of incident HF were determined by using the Kaplan-Meier method and subsequently used multivariate-adjusted proportional hazards models to compare HF risks for each CID. Exploratory analyse
