FINGER-HF Prognostic Tool

  • Age (years)
  • Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)
  • Heart Rate (beats/min)
  • NT-proBNP (pg/mL)
  • Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF %)
  • FINGER-HF Prognostic Tool: Explanation and Clinical Context
    The FINGER-HF Prognostic Tool is designed to estimate the risk of adverse outcomes (such as mortality or heart-failure hospitalization) in patients with chronic heart failure by integrating demographic, haemodynamic, renal, biomarker and ventricular function parameters.
    It uses commonly available clinical variables — for example age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, NT-proBNP, serum creatinine and left ventricular ejection fraction — to compute a risk score which is then translated into a percentage risk over a defined time-horizon. Clinically, this allows cardiologists to stratify patients into lower or higher risk categories and tailor management accordingly (more frequent follow-up, advanced therapies, device consideration, etc).
