Abstract

Background: Optimal systolic blood pressure (SBP) targets for the treatment of hospitalized acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients are not known.

Objectives: To investigate the association between SBP

Methods: We analyzed medical records of 14,611 adults who survived ADHF hospitalization at 17 hospitals (2010-2022) with follow-up until May 2023. Sensitivity analysis included 10,515 patients with post-discharge SBP measured within 30 days.

Results: Mortality rates at 30 days, 180 days, 1 year, and 3 years were higher in patients with discharge SBP

Conclusion: In hospitalized ADHF patients, SBP
