Classification based on congestion and perfusion status provides clinically relevant prognostic information for acute heart failure patients at admission and discharge.
Abstract
Classification based on congestion/perfusion status provides clinically relevant information at hospital admission and discharge. A better understanding of the clinical course of the two entities could play an important role towards the implementation of targeted strategies that may improve outcomes.
