Is the prognosis of heart failure improving?
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Data suggest that the prognosis of patients with a first admission for heart failure is improving, and the timing of improvement coincides with the gradual increase in the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors forHeart failure although a causal link cannot be proved from these data.
