Does worsening right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) predict cardiac events and mortality in hospitalized heart failure patients?
Worsening of right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) after discharge is an independent predictor of cardiac events and all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized for heart failure.
Estimación del efecto: HR 2.33 (95% CI 1.58–3.43)

Changes in RVFAC were associated with post-discharge prognosis in hospitalized heart failure patients.
Sugawara et al. (Thu,) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=480). Right Ventricular Fractional Area Change (RVFAC) measurement vs. Not specified was evaluated on Cardiac events and all-cause mortality (HR 2.33, 95% CI 1.58–3.43, p=<0.01). Worsening of right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) was associated with increased risk of cardiac events and all-cause mortality, with HR 2.33 compared to preserved/unchanged RVFAC.
