Why the study?
Does 24 h time-weighted lactate predict adverse intra-hospital outcomes in acute heart failure patients?
Does 24 h time-weighted lactate predict adverse intra-hospital outcomes in acute heart failure patients?
24-hour time-weighted lactate can identify high-risk acute heart failure patients who may require more aggressive treatment during hospitalization.
May support risk stratification in acute HF; hypothesis-generating for lactate-guided therapy in prospective trials.
In acute heart failure patients, 24 h LACTW had a significant independent predictive value for adverse intra-hospital outcome. LACTW could be a useful index at identifying high-risk patients who may require a more aggressive treatment during hospitalization.
