Association of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Use With All-Cause Mortality and Hospital Readmission in Older Adults With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Scarce data are available on the association of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) use with outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).

Objective

To investigate the association of MRA use with all-cause mortality and hospital readmission in patients with ADHF.

Design, setting, and participants
