Estimation of Lifetime Risk of HF

Author, publication year Vasan 20221 Huffman 20139 Pandey 20182
Years studied Framingham Heart Study: 1965–2014 Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry: 1967–2003;
Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities: 1987–2005;
Cardiovascular Health Study: 1989 – 2004
Cardiovascular Health Study: Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Methods Lifetime risk evaluated at up to 45 years of follow up Lifetime risk for developing HF at index age 45 y to age 95 y (CHA) or through age 75 y (ARIC) with death free of HF as a competing event. Lifetime risk at index age 45 y determined using a life-table analysis with a modified Kaplan-Meier method using death free of HF as a competing risk
Lifetime Risk for HF 1965–1989:19.0%
1990–2014: 23.7%
