Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS DFqB8R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. There is little epidemiological data on heart failure (HF) in the younger age groups dominating clinical HF trials. We assessed gender-specific long-term HF incidence and mortality in an urban community-based sample of middle-aged subjects. Between 1974 and 1992,33,342 HF-free subjects (10,900 [32.7% ] women, mean age 45.7 9+/-7.4 years) were included in the Malmö Preventive Project, on average 21.7+/-4.3 years before study end. Patients hospitalised for or dying of HF were categorised as HF patients, and 120 (1.1%) women versus 644 (2.9%) men experienced HF : 6.0 vs. 12.3 cases per 10,000 person years ; hazard ratio [HR] 0.61,95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50-0.74, P |
