Hyperuricaemia, ejection fraction of <40 percent, and elevated NTproBNP* and urea levels appear to be associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who were admitted for ADHF**, while the use of disease-modifying heart failure (HF) medications at admission and discharge may reduce the risk, according to a study presented at ESC Asia 2019.
