Article Synopsis
- Congestion significantly impacts outcomes in acute heart failure, and assessing it can be complicated, making effective treatment difficult; residual congestion at discharge increases risks of re-hospitalization and mortality.
- A study involving 233 patients with acute heart failure assessed the link between pro-adrenomedullin levels and congestion as well as clinical outcomes like in-hospital death and post-discharge mortality, revealing that higher pro-adrenomedullin levels are tied to worse outcomes.
- Findings suggest that monitoring pro-adrenomedullin can serve as a useful marker for evaluating congestion and guiding therapies in acute heart failure patients, with elevated levels correlating with heightened risk of worsening heart failure and death post-discharge.
