Why the study?
It remained unclear whether circulating free fatty acids are associated with the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure.
Are higher serum free fatty acid levels associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality or HF rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure?
Are higher serum free fatty acid levels associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality or HF rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure?
Higher serum free fatty acid levels at admission independently predict an increased risk of 1-year all-cause mortality or heart failure rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure.
