Pleural effusion, which is included as one of the Framingham minor diagnostic criteria
for heart failure (HF), is one of the common signs reflecting body fluid retention
and can be quickly and objectively evaluated by chest radiographs [
[1]
]. However, no data is available on the prognostic implications of responsiveness of
pleural effusion to the treatment during HF hospitalization. Therefore, we sought
to explore the association of residual pleural effusion at discharge with post-discharge
clinical outcomes in patients with pleural effusion on admission for acute decompensated
heart failure (ADHF).Keywords
