Conclusions: One in four heart failure admissions are with HFPSF in the NZHFR. Contributory causes and management are different to HFISF. No difference is noted in short term mortality or readmissions. doi:10.1016/j.hlc.2011.03.077 Ethnic Differences in Characteristics, Treatments and Outcomes of Patients Hospitalised for Heart Failure: New Zealand Heart Failure Registry Pera 1,∗,a ,

Hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand 3 Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand 4 Auckland City Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand Background: Several studies report worse outcomes in Maori patients presenting with heart failure. We report our experience with the New Zealand Heart Failure Registry (NZHFR). Methods: NZHFR is a national, prospective, observational web-based registry. We compared management and outcomes between NZ Maori (M) and NZ European (E). Results: A total of 1149 patients were enrolled from July 2006 to February 2011, with 90-day follow up available in 89% (1022/1149). There were 316 M (mean age 60.5 years, 70% males) and 833 E (mean age 77.3 years, 60% males). The prevalence of severe valve disease and diabetes was higher in M (26% vs.19%, P = 0.014 and 46% vs. 29%, P < 0.0001 respectively). M were more likely to have On behalf of the NZHFR Investigators.

Conclusions: M present at a much younger age with HF and are more likely to have diabetes mellitus and severe valvular heart disease as contributory factors. Systolic dysfunction is more common in M. with more frequent use of ACE-I/ARB and Aldosterone antagonists.

Background: The long-term outcomes of cardiac surgery for RHD are unknown for young New Zealand and Pacific Island populations. This study aims to determine preoperative factors that impact on long-term survival and valve-related morbidity. Methods: A retrospective review of all 212 RHD patients under 20 years who underwent their first cardiac surgery between 1990 and 2006 at our institution. Sub-analysis was performed on 81 patients who underwent isolated mitral valve (MV) surgery.
