Association of congestion with worsening renal function in acute decompensated heart failure according to age.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a frequent cause of hospitalization for patients with heart disease, and ADHF patients are at high risk of heart failure (HF) re-hospitalization. Residual congestion at discharge is also a strong predictor of poor outcomes and re-hospitalization for ADHF patients. However, the impact of residual congestion at discharge on worsening renal function (WRF) in both high-aged and older patients remains uncertain because previous studies of WRF in ADHF patients were conducted for older patients. We therefore designed and conducted a retrospective, population-based study using the Kobe University Heart Failure Registry in Awaji Medical Center (KUNIUMI) Registry to investigate the association of residual congestion at discharge with WRF in AD
