Although HF disproportionately affects older adults, little data exist regarding the prevalence of American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association heart failure (HF) stages among older individuals in the community. Additionally, the role of contemporary measures of longitudinal strain (LS) and diastolic dysfunction in defining HF stages is unclear. HF stages were classified in 6,118 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study (age 67 – 91 years) at the fifth study visit as follows: stage A (asymptomatic with HF risk factors but no cardiac structural or functional abnormalities), B (asymptomatic with structural abnormalities, defined as left ventricular hypertrophy, dilation or dysfunction, or significant valvular disease), C1 (clinical HF without prior hospitalization), and C2 (clinical HF with prior hospitalization). Using the traditional definitions of HF stages, only 5% of examined participants were free of HF risk factors or structural heart disease (Stage 0), 52% were categorized as Stage A, 30% Stage B, 7% Stage C1, and 6% Stage C2. Worse HF stage was associated with a greater risk of incident HF hospitalization or death at a median follow-up of 608 days. LVEF was preserved in 77% and 65% in Stages C1 and C2 respectively. Incorporation of LS and diastolic dysfunction into the Stage B definition reclassified 14% of the sample from Stage A to B and improved the net reclassification index (p=0.028) and integrated discrimination index (p=0.016). Abnormal LV structure, systolic function (based on LVEF and LS), and diastolic function (based on e′, E/e′, and left atrial volume index) were each independently and additively associated with risk of incident HF hospitalization or death in Stage A and B participants. The majority of older adults in the community are at risk for HF (Stages A or B), appreciably more compared to previous reports in younger community-based samples. LVEF is robustly preserved in at least two-thirds of older adults with prevalent HF (Stage C), highlighting the burden of HFpEF in the elderly. LV diastolic function and LS provide incremental prognostic value beyond conventional measures of LV structure and LVEF in identifying persons at risk for HF hospitalization or death.
