Article Synopsis
- The study examined risk factors for mortality in patients with acute cor pulmonale at different altitudes, revealing that factors like NYHA class IV and type II respiratory failure significantly increased the risk of death.
- Researchers reviewed data from 673 patients at Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital, finding specific risk factors for death that varied based on living altitude, including cardiac injury for those below 2500 m and D-dimer levels for those above.
- The findings suggest that certain clinical markers may help identify patients at greater risk of death from cor pulmonale and highlight how altitude can influence these risks.
