Abstract

Heart failure is one of the global health problem priorities and is largely caused by late recognition of the symptoms. Early detection is paramount to diagnosing heart failure; thus, a simplified algorithm is required. The objective is to examine the accuracy of a symptoms-based algorithm for early detection of systolic heart failure. We developed a symptom-based algorithm, compared to typical echocardiography examination. The algorithm model in this study consisted of four symptoms with the highest association to systolic heart failure. To evaluate outcomes in a larger population, we performed the derivation phase to assess the sensitivity and specificity of this algorithm. The derivation phase was tested on 477 heart failure patients. All symptoms in the algorithm—dyspnoea on exertion (DOE), paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea (PND), orthopnoea and leg oedema—occur significantly more often among patients with systolic heart failure, compared to those with diastolic heart failure (p < 0.05). The algorithm obtained an area under the curve and gave a sensitivity of 83.9% and a specificity of 81.1%. The symptom-based algorithm provides good outcomes for early detection of systolic heart failure and are feasible to be developed into a self-assessment application for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction.
