Journal ArticleDOI

The prognosis of heart failure in the general population: The Rotterdam Study.

TL;DR: Heart failure generally afflicts older subjects in the community, carries a poor prognosis, especially in the presence of concomitant diseases, and confers a fivefold increase in the risk of sudden death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspirin and coumadin after acute coronary syndromes (the ASPECT-2 study): a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: In patients recently admitted with acute coronary events, treatment with high- intensity oral anticoagulants or aspirin with medium-intensity oral antICOagulant was more effective than aspirin on its own in reduction of subsequent cardiovascular events and death.

The prognosis of heart failure in the general population

TL;DR: In the Rotterdam Study as discussed by the authors, a Cox's proportional hazard model was used to determine the prognosis, cause of death, and its determinants in participants who were found to have heart failure.
