The American Journal of Cardiology, 03/05/07
Green,Philip BA, et al. – Does the heart failure survival score (HFSS) and peak exercise oxygen consumption (VO2) accurately predict survival for women as well as men with heart failure?
>Summary: Prospective study of 274 women and 278 men referred for cardiac transplantation. FSS and measured peak VO2 measurements were taken from as well as seven other HFSS parameters.Persons were divided into high-, medium-, and low-risk groups for HFSS and VO2. Survival curves were derived using Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared by log-rank analysis.
Outcomes: Women had better survival rate than men for a given peak VO2. HFSS was consistent between genders in its prediction of survival of persons with congestive heart failure
