Does the GWTG-HF risk score predict in-hospital mortality in patients with heart failure?
The GWTG-HF risk score is a validated tool using common clinical variables to predict in-hospital mortality across a broad spectrum of heart failure patients.
The GWTG-HF risk score uses commonly available clinical variables to predict in-hospital mortality and provides clinicians with a validated tool for risk stratification that is applicable to a broad spectrum of patients with heart failure, including those with preserved left ventricular systolic function.
