MAGGIC Heart Failure Risk Score
1-year and 3-year mortality prediction in heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF)
Overview
The MAGGIC (Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure) risk calculator predicts 1-year and 3-year all-cause mortality in patients with HF. Validated in >39,000 patients from 30 studies.

MAGGIC Score Mortality Reference
| Score Range | Approx. 1-Year Mortality | Risk Category |
|---|---|---|
| 0–7 | 1–3% | Low |
| 8–11 | 4–7% | Low-Moderate |
| 12–14 | 8–12% | Moderate |
| 15–17 | 13–20% | High |
| ≥18 | >25% | Very High |
Score = Age + EF + SBP + BMI + Creatinine + NYHA
+ Male + Smoker + DM + COPD + HF duration
− Beta-blocker − ACEi/ARB
Creatinine in MAGGIC is in µmol/L
+ Male + Smoker + DM + COPD + HF duration
− Beta-blocker − ACEi/ARB
Creatinine in MAGGIC is in µmol/L
Clinical Notes:
• MAGGIC validated in both HFrEF and HFpEF across diverse populations
• Negative modifiable risk factors (BB, ACEi/ARB) highlight importance of GDMT
• High-risk patients should be referred for advanced HF evaluation
