Are persistent high BUN levels associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death and HF readmission in patients with acute heart failure?
Persistent high BUN levels during hospitalization for acute heart failure serve as a prognostic marker for increased risk of cardiovascular death and readmission.
Persistent high BUN levels in hospital are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death and HF readmission. Normalization of BUN levels during hospitalization may be associated with long-term clinical outcomes.
