Prognostic Significance of Increased Serum Bilirubin Levels Coincident With Cardiac Decompensation in Chronic Heart Failure

Background The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) coincident with heart failure (HF) exacerbation and subsequent long-term outcome in patients with chronic HF. Methods and Results The study population consisted of 183 consecutive patients a...

Zusammenfassung:	Background The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) coincident with heart failure (HF) exacerbation and subsequent long-term outcome in patients with chronic HF. Methods and Results The study population consisted of 183 consecutive patients admitted for HF exacerbation with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%. Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that serum total bilirubin (T-Bil) levels on admission (hazard ratio 1.896, p
