Why the study?
Does change in plasma volume predict death or heart failure hospitalization in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
Does change in plasma volume predict death or heart failure hospitalization in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
Change in plasma volume calculated from routine blood tests over an admission is an independent predictor of mortality and heart failure hospitalization, adding prognostic value to the ADHERE score.
