Background: Incomplete treatment of congestion often leads to worsening heart failure (HF). The remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) system is an electromagnetic energy-based technology that accurately quantifies changes in lung fluid concentration noninvasively.
Objectives: This study sought to assess whether an ReDS-guided strategy during acutely decompensated HF hospitalization is superior to routine care for improving outcomes at 1 month postdischarge.
Article Synopsis
- There is limited understanding of how gender affects the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients experiencing cardiogenic shock (CS), particularly in a hospital setting.
- The study aimed to explore gender-related differences in characteristics, management, and in-hospital mortality among CS patients, while also evaluating the prognostic accuracy of the SCAI classification for predicting mortality by sex.
- An analysis of 163 CS patients showed that women were less likely to smoke and had lower rates of certain conditions compared to men, but in-hospital survival rates were similar across genders, indicating no significant differences in outcomes.
