Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Introduction: </span></span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Portuguese Heart Failure Observational Study (PORTHOS) showed that the prevalence of heart failure (HF) in mainland Portugal is 16.5%, very different from the EPICA study. However, the populations of the autonomous regions, whose characteristics are very different due to their insularity, were not included. The PORTHOS – MADEIRA study is currently being carried out to assess the prevalence of heart failure (HF) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM) and the characteristics of its population.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Objective</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">: To characterize the cardiovascular profile of the population of the RAM.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Methods</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">: An observational, cross-sectional, population-based study was carried out in the Autonomous Region of Madeira in three phases, as in PORTHOS study. During phase 1 a random sample of the population aged 50 years old or more living in the RAM was selected. Participants were invited by telephone to take part in a screening visit that took place in a hospital consultation. At this visit, the presence of HF symptoms, anthropomorphic assessment, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) test, 1-lead electrocardiogram and sociodemographic and quality of life questionnaires were assessed.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Results:</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> We obtained a sample with 1394 subjects aged 65.1 ± 9.6, 55.4% female. Regarding cardiovascular risk factors: 57.3% had hypertension, 57.2% had dyslipidaemia, 37.5% drank ≥1 alcoholic drink a day, 36.9% were smokers/ex-smokers, 32.9% were obese and 20.3% had diabetes. Previous history 4.9% with coronary artery disease, 4.1% with previous cerebrovascular disease, 3.1% atrial fibrillation/flutter and 1,7% Heart Failure. Functionally 94.3% were in NYHA ≤2. For educational qualifications 4.1% of the individuals were illiterate and 50.0% had completed only up to elementary school. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Conclusion:</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> The population of the RAM has particular and unique characteristics due to its insularity. The PORTHOS-MADEIRA study will make it possible to assess the prevalence of HF in this population.</span></span></span></span></p>
