Prognostic Impact of Worsening Renal Function in Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Report From the JASPER Registry.
The characteristics and prognostic impact of persistent worsening renal function (WRF; defined as an increase in serum creatinine of >0.3 mg/dL during hospitalization) on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction have not yet been fully examined. ⋯ Persistent WRF was associated with systolic blood pressure, atherosclerotic diseases, diuretics, and poor postdischarge prognosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
