Why the study?
Few prior studies have investigated differences in precipitants leading to hospitalizations for acute heart failure in a cohort with global representation.
Data on global differences in precipitants for AHF highlight potential regional differences in targets for preventing hospitalization for AHF and identifying those at highest risk for early mortality.
Supports region-specific AHF prevention targets; leaves open prospective validation for mortality risk stratification.
AIMS: Few prior studies have investigated differences in precipitants leading to hospitalizations for acute heart failure (AHF) in a cohort with global representation. METHODS AND RESULTS: >0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: Data on global differences in precipitants for AHF highlight potential regional differences in targets for preventing hospitalization for AHF and identifying those at highest risk for early mortality.
