Why the study?
How do non-cardiac comorbidities impact in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in patients with acute heart failure?
How do non-cardiac comorbidities impact in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in patients with acute heart failure?
The presence of multiple non-cardiac comorbidities in acute heart failure is associated with worse outcomes, with specific risk profiles varying by ejection fraction category.
May aid risk stratification in acute HF; hypothesis-generating for EF-specific interventions.
Multiple NCCs conferred poor in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes. Ejection fraction categories had different prevalence and risk profile associated with individual NCCs.
