Observational StudyThirteen-year trends in hospitalization and outcomes of patients with heart failure in Spain.
Heart failure is one of the most pressing current public health concerns. However, in Spain there is a lack of population data. We aimed to examine thirteen-year nationwide trends in heart failure hospitalization, in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission rates in Spain. ⋯ From 2003 to 2015, heart failure admission rates increased significantly in Spain as a consequence of the sustained increase of hospitalization in the population ≥75 years. 30-day readmission rates increased, but the risk-standardized in-hospital mortality ratio did not significantly change for the same period.

Observational StudyMinor troponin T elevation and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation presenting to the emergency department.
There are limited data on the association of minor troponin elevation in unselected patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) presenting to the emergency department (ED) with adverse events. In this study, we sought to assess the early and mid-term mortality of these patients. ⋯ Among patients with AF admitted to the ED, increased TnT levels were associated with increased early and mid-term all-cause mortality irrespective of baseline covariates and type of AF.
