Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...
