Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Results of the Precision Event Monitoring for Patients With Heart Failure Using HeartLogic Study (PREEMPT-HF)
Authors' conclusion
HeartLogic index trends were significantly different for patients who were readmitted for HF. These trends suggest that individuals at risk for readmission have had a more sustained worsening and/or insufficient intervention during the initial hospitalization for HF.
