Overview

Several risk factors may predispose to heart failure. These risk factors can be demographic, genetic, associated with lifestyle or medications.

Risk Factors

  1. Demographic factors
    • Age (increased)
    • Low socioeconomic status
  2. Lifestyle-related factors
  3. Comorbidities
  4. Echocardiographic factors
  5. Pharmacological factors
  6. Biochemical
  7. Genetic risk factors

Risk Factors Associated with Heart Failure Progression and Outcomes

  1. Clinical
  2. Echocardiographic
  3. Exercise Tolerance
    • Exercise duration
    • Peak O2 consumption
    • VE/VCO2
    • Anaerobic threshold 6-minute walk test
  4. Hemodynamics
  5. Electrophysiological
  6. Neurohormonal
  7. Natriuretic factors
