CAD identifies higher-risk acute pulmonary edema patients; leaves open whether intensified management improves outcomes.
Cohort (n=806)
Absolute Event Rate: 70% vs 57.1%
p-value: p=0.002
In patients with acute pulmonary edema, the presence of coronary artery disease is associated with higher long-term mortality and heart failure readmissions, highlighting a high-risk population that may benefit from aggressive intervention.
Figueras et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Acute Pulmonary Edema (n=806). Coronary artery disease vs. No coronary artery disease was evaluated on Overall mortality (p=0.002). Acute pulmonary edema patients with coronary artery disease had higher overall mortality over a 45-month follow-up than those without coronary artery disease (70.0% vs 57.1%; P=0.002).
