Key result
Structured clinical pathways implemented early after heart failure hospitalization are proposed to manage the risks of readmission and mortality across short-, mid-, and long-term follow-up.
Highlights the post-discharge period after heart failure hospitalization as a critical window for intervention to reduce readmission and mortality risks.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support early structured pathways after HF hospitalization to reduce readmission and mortality; leaves open need for prospective randomized validation.
Graphical AbstractOpen in new tabDownload slideProposed pathway after heart failure hospitalization. Top line shows risk of hospital readmission and mortality for short-, mid- and long-term follow-up. Middle line shows actions to be taken at specific time-points, especially early after hospital discharge. Bottom line gives information of patient groups needing special attention.
