The Seattle HF score is calculated by multiplying the coefficient by the variable and summing the values. Variables included within the model are age (decade), gender (male), NYHA class,100/ejection fraction, ischemic etiology, systolic blood pressure, diuretic dose (mg/kg), allopurinol use, statin use, if sodium<138, 100/cholesterol (dL/mg), if haemoglobin more or less than 16, % lymphocytes and uric acid (mg/dL). The SHFM-D included the original SHFM variables, and the new variables of digoxin use, carvedilol use, and creatinine, with each individual s SHFM score derived as previously described. The SHFM has been updated on an iterative basis to incorporate new and relevant variables based on the publishing of various trials and guidelines.
