Worsening Renal Function and Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients with Reduced Ejection Fraction

While modern therapy has improved outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) there is often conflict between therapy and renal function. The resulting variability in management strategies may adversely affect patient care. We explored the relationship between renal function and outcomes in acute decompensated (AD) HFrEF (EF<40%).
