    BackgroundSystolic blood pressure (SBP) at hospital admission predicts in-hospital and postdischarge mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The relationship between admission SBP and mortality in heart failure with preserved (≥50%) ejection fraction (HFPEF) is still unclear.Methods And ResultsWe aimed to investigate the relationship between admission SBP and 5-year outcome in 368 consecutive patients hospitalized for new-onset HFPEF. Five-year all-cause mortality rates according to admission SBP categories (<120, 120-139, 140-159, 160-179, and ≥180 mm Hg) were 75 ± 7%, 53 ± 6%, 52 ± 7%, 55 ± 4%, and 60 ± 7%, respectively (P = .029). Survival analysis showed an inverse relation between admission SBP and mortality with increased risk of death for SBP <120 mm Hg. SBP <120 mm Hg independently predicted 5-year all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-2.63) and cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 1.89, 95% CI 1.21-2.97). In patients discharged alive, after adjustment for medical treatment at discharge, admission SBP <120 mm Hg remained predictive of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.04-2.43) and cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.06-2.73). There was no interaction between any of the therapeutic classes and outcome prediction of SBP.ConclusionsIn HFPEF, low SBP (<120 mm Hg) at the time of hospital admission is associated with excess long-term mortality. Further studies are required to determine the mechanism of this association.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
