Prevalence and prognostic importance of precipitating factors leading to heart failure hospitalization: Recurrent hospitalizations and mortality
European Journal of Heart Failure Sep 16, 2017
Platz E, et al. - There is a need to gain a better understanding of precipitating factors leading to heart failure (HF) hospitalization and their importance with respect to subsequent outcomes. In this current study, it was shown that there was no relation between investigator-reported precipitating factor and subsequent mortality rate among chronic HF patients hospitalized for decompensation, although these precipitating factors were found to be associated with the type of readmission: readmissions for cardiovascular (CV) reasons were more likely when the index precipitant was CV.
