Depressive symptoms and incident hospitalization for heart failure: findings From the REGARDS Study.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether depressive symptoms are associated with incident heart failure (HF), including hospitalization for HF overall or by subtype: HF with preserved (HFpEF) or reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The study found that over a median of 9.2 years of follow-up, there were 872 incident HF hospitalizations, 526 among those without CHD and 334 among those with CHD. The age-adjusted HF hospitalization incidence rates per 1000 person-years were 4.9 for participants with depressive symptoms compared with 3.2 for participants without depressive symptoms. For overall HF, the elevated risk lessened after controlling for covariates. Among those without baseline CHD, when HFpEF was evaluated separately, after controlling for all covariates, depressive symptoms were related with incident hospitalization. In contrast, depressive symptoms were not related with incident HFrEF hospitalizations. The researchers concluded that among individuals without CHD at baseline, depressive symptoms were related with incident hospitalization for HFpEF, but not for those with baseline CHD or HFrEF.

Preeclampsia predicts risk of hospitalization for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Preeclampsia is associated with increased risk of future heart failure (HF), but the relationship between preeclampsia and HF subtypes are not well-established. The objective of this analysis was to identify the risk of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) following a delivery complicated by preeclampsia/eclampsia. The investigators concluded that preeclampsia/eclampsia was an independent risk factor for future hospitalizations for HFpEF.

Effect of initiating cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction on subsequent hospitalization in older adults.
Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation after myocardial infarction (MI) reduces all-cause mortality; however, less is known about effects of CR on post-MI hospitalization. The objective of this study was to investigate effects of CR on hospitalization following acute MI among older adults. The investigators concluded that this study provided evidence that CR could reduce the 1-yr risk of cardiovascular and all-cause hospital admissions in Medicare aged MI survivors.
