BACKGROUND: @entity417 and echocardiographic systolic and diastolic parameters are useful predictors of cardiovascular outcomes in @entity1 with @entity955 ( @entity955 ). However, no studies have evaluated the use of @entity417 for predicting cardiovascular outcome in @entity955 @entity1 when the important echocardiographic parameters are known. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate whether low hemoglobin is a useful parameter for predicting poor cardiac outcome after adjustment for important echocardiographic parameters in @entity955 @entity1 . METHODS: Index beat method was used to measure echocardiographic parameters in 166 @entity1 with persistent @entity955 . @entity299 were defined as death and hospitalization for @entity712 . The association of hemoglobin with @entity299 was assessed by Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: The 49 @entity299 identified in this population included 21 @entity204 and 28 hospitalizations for @entity712 during an average follow-up of 20 months (25th-75th percentile: 14-32 months). Multivariable analysis showed that increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and decreased body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and hemoglobin (hazard ratio 0.827; P = 0.015) were independently associated with increased @entity299 . Additionally, tests of a Cox model that included important clinic variables, LVMI, left ventricular ejection fraction, and the ratio of transmitral E-wave velocity to early diastolic mitral annulus velocity showed that including hemoglobin significantly increased value in predicting @entity299 (P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS: Hemoglobin is a useful parameter for predicting @entity299 , and including hemoglobin may improve the prognostic prediction of conventional clinical and echocardiographic parameters in @entity1 with @entity955 .
