Clinical Characteristics and Factors Associated with Heart Failure Readmission at a Tertiary Hospital in North-Eastern Tanzania.

Conclusion: Heart failure is a burden due to a large number of admissions and readmissions. Factors such as poor medication adherence and absence of adequate HF therapy, especially the absence of regimes containing ACEI or ARB, need to be targeted to reduce the number of readmissions. This will help reduce the risk of further decompensations, disease progression, and mortality rate. PMID: 32411443 [PubMed]
