AB  - Background: To estimate the survival of patients in the heart transplantation waiting list (HTx WL) at Almazov National Medical Research Centre (V.A. Almazov NMRC), Saint-Petersburg, Russia, from 2010 to 2017 and to define risk factors for death among these patients.
Methods: It was a single-center retrospective study involving 151 patients with advanced chronic heart failure (CHF) in the HTx WL.
Results: Mortality in the HTx WL for the period 2010-2017 was found to decrease. Based on the results of constructing the discriminant function, four factors predicting the survival of patients in the HTx WL, namely, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, beta-blockers, status 1 of UNOS, CHF NYHA class IV, were pointed out.
Conclusions: The model has sufficient resolving power but is not capable of predicting the outcome in the presence of acute decompensation of CHF.
