Abstract

Background: The De Ritis ratio, derived from serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels, has shown prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases. Its role in elderly patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains uncertain. Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic value of the De Ritis ratio for 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in elderly patients with ADHF. Methods: A single-center, prospective cohort of 249 patients aged ≥65 years (median age 78, 53.8% female) hospitalized with ADHF was enrolled. Patients were categorized into tertiles by De Ritis ratio:
