Prognostic implication of physical signs of congestion in acute heart failure patients and its association with steady-state biomarker levels.

Prognostic implication of physical signs of congestion in acute heart failure patients and its association with steady-state biomarker levels.

<h4>Background</h4>Congestive physical findings such as pulmonary rales and third heart sound (S3) are hallmarks of acute heart failure (AHF). However, their role in outcome prediction remains unclear. We sought to investigate the association between congestive physical findings upon adm...
