Timing and Causes of Readmission after Acute Heart Failure Hospitalization – Insights from the Heart Failure Network Trials

Highlights • Early readmission after heart failure hospitalization was often due to cardiovascular comorbidity. • ACE/ARB use was associated with lesser risk for early readmission/death. • Hypokalemia, but not hyperkalemia, was associated with increased cardiovascular readmission/death. • Despite de...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Early readmission after heart failure hospitalization was often due to cardiovascular comorbidity. • ACE/ARB use was associated with lesser risk for early readmission/death. • Hypokalemia, but not hyperkalemia, was associated with increased cardiovascular readmission/death. • Despite detailed physical examination data from a trial cohort, readmission prediction was limited.
