- Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is a serious condition that can lead to heart failure, and this study aimed to find out which factors are predictors of developing heart failure in these patients.* -
- Using CART analysis on 146 HPS patients, researchers discovered that factors like cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), NT-proBNP levels, and C-reactive protein (CRP) are significant predictors, with CTR being the most critical one.* -
- The results underscore the importance of early identification of these predictors to improve patient outcomes and inform future research on managing heart failure in HPS.*
