Prognostic Impact of Residual Pulmonary Congestion Assessed by Remote Dielectric Sensing System in Patients Admitted for Heart Failure
Main findingResult — go to the resultAdjusted hazard ratio 4.37 95% CI 1.13–16.81Authors' conclusion
Elevated ReDS ratios detected during the index hospitalization could serve as a promising prognostic indicator in HF patients admitted for treatment.
