Factors influencing heart failure in adult patients. uct [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.119, pp.108-115.  Epub 15-Mar-2024. ISSN 1316-4821.  https://doi.org/10.47460/uct.v27i119.712.

The work presented allows the analysis and determination of the main factors that affect heart failure. Considering that this disease is a syndrome that is increasing and increasingly affects younger people, while, in older patients, it can cause mortality. For the study, a deductive - analytical method was used, establishing as binding factors functional class III according to the NYHA scale, which are Diabetes Mellitus as comorbidity, dyslipidemia, deterioration of glomerular filtration rate and arrhythmias. A smaller proportion of patients with readmissions and decreased ejection fraction were found. Finally, it is possible to affirm that cardiac syndrome increasingly affects the health of people without age discrimination, which makes it necessary to promote a healthy lifestyle and periodic reviews in work environments.

Palabras clave : heart failure; predictive factors; mortality.
