Initiation and long-term use of tolvaptan for patients with worsening heart failure through hospital and clinic cooperation [PDF]
, 2021 Worsening heart failure (WHF) has a negative impact on the prognosis of patients with heart failure. Adequate management of non-hospitalized episodes of WHF, regarded as “outpatient WHF”, may reduce the frequency of emergent/urgent hospitalization for ...
