Why the study?
Does worse diuretic response predict mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure?
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.
May aid risk stratification in acute HF; hypothesis-generating for diuretic-targeted interventions.
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.
