Serum Lipids and Glucose Levels in Relation to CVD Outcomes in Patients With Ischemic Heart Failure

Fasting Serum Lipids and Glucose Levels in Relation to CVD Outcomes in Patients With Ischemic Heart Failure

Current prospective cohort study is to evaluate the association between fasting lipid profiles (including total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A, apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a)) and fasting plasma glucose at admission with cardiovascular disease outcomes (including fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, re-hospitalization due to heart failure, revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, or cardiovascular mortality) and all-cause mortality.in patients with ischemic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction < 45 % evaluated by echocardiography during 12 months follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria: 1.Diagnosed as coronary artery disease by coronary angiography; 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction < 45% evaluated by echocardiography during index hospitalization.
