Highlights the importance of cardio-hepatic syndrome in heart failure and suggests the need to update prognostic risk scores.
Interventions: Is it Time to Update the Prognostic Risk Scores?H eart failure (HF) is a multifactorial, heterogeneous disease characterized by conges- tion and/or reduced cardiac output, leading to unmet metabolic demands of vital organs.Regardless of the etiology or phenotypic features (ischemic vs. non-ischemic, reduced or preserved ejection fraction, severe valvular stenosis or regurgitation), the "inevitable consequence" of the HF syndrome is the progressive end-organ dysfunction.4][5][6][7] However, HF still remains a global health problem associated with reduced survival, frequent hospitalizations, and impaired quality of life.
