Key result
Higher admission blood pressure linked to ~60% lower mortality in ADHF.
Why the study?
Does higher admission blood pressure predict lower mortality in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
Cohort (n=581)
Does higher admission blood pressure predict lower mortality in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
Hazard Ratio: 0.4 (95% CI 0.19–0.85)
Absolute Event Rate: 7.3% vs 15.5%
p-value: p=0.017
Higher mean blood pressure at admission for acute decompensated heart failure is independently associated with significantly lower mortality.

Higher admission BP signals lower post-discharge mortality in decompensated HF; leaves open whether BP is a modifiable target requiring prospective validation.
Pérez‐Calvo et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Acute decompensated heart failure (n=581). Higher admission blood pressure vs. Lower admission blood pressure was evaluated on Mortality (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.19-0.85, p=0.017). Higher mean blood pressure at admission was associated with significantly lower mortality (HR 0.40; 95% CI 0.19-0.85; P=0.017) in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure.
