One hundred and ninety consecutive patients discharged with congestive heart failure were examined with clinical evaluation, blood chemistry, 24 h Holter monitoring, exercise test and radionuclide angiography. Median left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.30, 46% were in New York Heart Association class II and 44% in III. Total mortality after 1 year was 21%, after 2 years 32%. Of 60 deaths, 33% were sudden and 49% due to pump failure. Multivariate analyses identified totally different risk factors for sudden death: ventricular tachycardia, s-sodium < or = 137 mmol/l, s-magnesium < or = 0.80 mmol/l, s-creatinine > 121 mumol/l, and maximal change in heart rate during exercise < or = 35 min-1, and for death from progressive pump failure: New York Heart Association class III + IV, delta heart rate over 24 h < or = 50 min-1, low ejection fraction, high resting p-noradrenaline, s-urea > 7.6 mmol/l, s-potassium < 3.5 mmol/l, and maximal exercise duration < or = 4 min. In conclusion, this study demonstrated different risk factors for sudden death and for death from progressive pump failure.
