Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a major global health issue, with coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke being risk factors with different mechanisms. The risk of HF in stroke patients remain poorly characterized despite the potential contributions of "stroke-heart syndrome." This study aimed to evaluate HF incidence and risk factors across different cardiovascular disease (CVD) subtypes in a large population-based Chinese cohort. This study included 13,258 CVD patients, i.e. 3,470 patients with CHD (including 610 with myocardial infarction [MI]) and 10,048 with total stroke (comprising 8,631 ischemic and 1,515 hemorrhagic stroke), and 66,290 age- and sex-matched controls without CVD (1:5 ratio). The primary outcome was new-onset HF. Cumulative incidence functions were estimated with non-HF death as a competing event, stratified by CVD subtypes. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the risk factors of HF and compare relative hazard ratio (HR) between CHD and stroke patients. The 10-year cumulative incidence of HF was 25.3% in patients with CHD (24.6% in MI patients), 13.5% in stroke patients (14.7% and 7.3% for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, respectively), and 6.9% in controls. Hypertension (81.8% in CHD, 81.0% in stroke) significantly increased HF risk compared to those without it (incidence rate ratio: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.41 to 2.12 for stroke; 1.42, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.78 for CHD). Obesity showed a stronger association with HF in stroke patients than in CHD patients (HR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.15 to 1.78 vs 0.94, 95%CI: 0.69 to 1.28, ratio of HRs: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.14 to 2.42). Other significant risk factors in both CHD and stroke patients include older age, male sex, former smoking, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In conclusion, heart failure incidence varies by CVD subtypes, with the highest risk rates in CHD and MI patients, followed by stroke. Hypertension and obesity notably increase HF risk for stroke patients. Tailored risk management strategies are needed, considering the differential impact of risk factors across CVD subtypes.
