ESC HEART FAILURE, cilt.3, sa.2, ss.115-121, 2016 (SCI-Expanded)
AimsAcute heart failure (AHF) is one of the leading causes of unscheduled hospitalization and is associated with frequent readmissions and substantial mortality. Precipitating factors of AHF influence short-term mortality, but their effect on outcome after hospital discharge is unknown. The present study assessed the effect of precipitating factors on readmission and long-term survival in the overall population and in patients aged 75years or younger.
