Gender and racial differences in surgical outcomes among adult patients with acute heart failure
2018, Heart and Lung: Journal of Acute and Critical CareCitation Excerpt :We found that men had a higher rate of postoperative myocardial infarction and this may have contributed to respiratory failure and prolonged ventilation. While studies before 1990 found that both Whites and Blacks with HF had similar mortality,32–34 more recent data have suggested that for urban patients hospitalized for HF exacerbations, mortality is lower in both Asians and Blacks than in Whites.35 Previous studies have suggested that the pathophysiology of HF differs between Blacks and Whites with Blacks being more likely to have diabetes mellitus and hypertension induced HF while White patients have higher rates of coronary artery disease associated HF.
Section 15: Management of Heart Failure in Special Populations
2010, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :Early results from the Framingham Heart Study pointed to a difference in prognosis between men and women with HF, with men having worse survival than women.30–32 Subsequent findings from some HF databases have confirmed this observation in both a broad population of patients with HF and those at a very advanced stage.31,33–35 These studies have suggested that women's survival advantage is etiology-dependent, with better outcomes noted when the primary cause is non-ischemic.
The Effects of Race on Peak Oxygen Consumption and Survival in Patients With Systolic Dysfunction
2010, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :The validity of peak VO2 in black HF patients is further complicated by the numerous racial differences in the development and progression of HF. Black HF patients frequently possess a greater burden of disease,11-14 and their response to medical therapy is known to differ from white HF patients.15,16 The impact of these factors on prognostic indicators is demonstrated by Kalogeropoulos and colleagues' recent findings that the Seattle Heart Failure Model underestimated risk in black HF patients and that race-specific recalibration was necessary to improve model discrimination.18
