Exploring Disparities in Mortality Rates Among Heart Failure Patients With Primary Diagnosis of Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Analysis of 2016-2020 Data.

Cardiac arrest is a dangerous threat to patients with heart failure. In this analysis, the authors aim to investigate the disparities between patients with heart failure who died with a diagnosis of cardiac arrest in terms of race, income, sex, hospital location, hospital size, hospital region, and insurance. Do social determinants of life impact cardiac arrest in patients with heart failure? A total of 8840 patients with heart failure who had a primary diagnosis of cardiac arrest, were admitted non-elective, were adults, and died during the admission were included in this study.
