Early treatment with spironolactone not effective for new-onset acute HF
Patients with acute heart failure (HF) who received spironolactone at discharge did not have a lower risk for HF readmission or mortality over the next year but were at higher risk for hyperkalemia, a retrospective cohort study in U.S. hospitals found.

Studies look at outcomes with drug use and heart failure, infective endocarditis
Almost 10% of patients with acute heart failure tested positive for drug use, a French study found, while an analysis of U.S. patients who injected drugs and underwent surgery for infective endocarditis found that 79% had relapsed and 68% had died by five years.

Rapid uptitration of oral therapies after hospitalization was safe, effective across LVEF categories
A high-intensity care strategy after discharge was associated with a reduced risk of death and heart failure readmission at 180 days, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a prespecified analysis of a randomized trial found.

Higher ACS mortality in women vs. men may be related to acute heart failure
A retrospective study of 87,812 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) found that those with acute heart failure were more likely to die and that women were more likely to present with acute heart failure than men.

More than 1 in 10 hospitalized COVID-19 patients had cardiac event, 2021 study finds
An analysis of 8,460 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in January to November 2021 also found that 23.4% of those with underlying cardiac disease experienced an acute cardiac event during their admission, as did 6.2% of those without pre-existing cardiac disease.

Algorithm for HF risk stratification in the ED associated with better 30-day outcomes
A trial in Ontario used a point-of-care algorithm to determine whether patients seen in the ED for acute heart failure (HF) should be discharged directly from the ED or after up to three days of observation, followed by transitional care in a heart failure clinic, or be admitted for inpatient care.

High-intensity medical therapy at HF discharge reduced readmissions, death
Researchers stopped the STRONG-HF randomized trial early due to greater than expected differences in outcomes between patients who received rapid up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapy under strict follow-up and those who received usual care.
