Acute Hemodynamic Index Predicts In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
This Short Editorial is referred by the Research article "Acute Hemodynamic Index Predicts In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure".
Although acute heart failure (AHF) is associated with significant in-hospital mortality (around 9-11% in concordance with the mortality rate in the BREATHE registry) and high rates of rehospitalization after discharge, options for the management of these patients remain limited.
Since overall survival is mainly determined by the initial management, accurate and early individual risk stratification can help physicians choose the intensity of care required and promote tailored medical decision-making with improvement of prognosis.
