Cardiac Overload and Heart Failure Risk by NT-proBNP Levels in Older Adults with COPD Eligible for Single-Inhaler Triple Therapy: A Multicenter Longitudinal Study.

Predictors of Cardiac Overload or HF Risk Multivariate logistic regression identified three independent predictors of falling into the “HF likely” or “HF very high-risk” categories ( Table 3 ): AECOPD within the previous 30 days (OR 9.0, 95% CI 1.5–54.7; p = 0.017), lower hemoglobin levels (borderline significance, p = 0.057), and number of antihypertensive medications (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.1–6.6; p = 0.031).
