Heart failure (HF) has been shown to be an independent predictor of poor outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients undergoing PCI with a history of HF are also at increased risk of major complications such as Q-wave myocardial infarction, stroke, or vascular complications. Despite evidence demonstrating that patients with HF are more likely to have poor outcomes, clinical predictors of the development of new-onset or inhospital HF remain ill defined. In addition, no study has investigated the independent prognostic implication of the development of new-onset or inhospital HF after PCI.
