Article Synopsis
- Patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and residual congestion who also have renal dysfunction face poor clinical outcomes, leading researchers to propose a new indicator called the congestion and renal index (CRI).
- The study involved 944 AHF patients, measuring their thoracic fluid content relative to kidney function before discharge, to see how CRI correlated with outcomes over one year.
- Results showed that a higher CRI indicated a greater risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization, proving that CRI adds valuable prognostic information beyond existing scoring systems.
