Abstract:
Bacterial infections in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure are related to worse prognosis, but they can be difficult to diagnose. In this study we evaluated the prevalence, clinical correlates and association with outcomes of significantly elevated procalcitonin levels in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure without clear signs of bacterial infection.
