Does worse diuretic response predict mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure?
Worse diuretic response in acute heart failure serves as a prognostic marker for increased mortality and heart failure rehospitalization.
Worse diuretic response was associated with more advanced heart failure, renal impairment, diabetes, atherosclerotic disease and in-hospital worsening heart failure, and predicts mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in this post hoc, hypothesis-generating study.
Valente et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
