They concluded that relative to patients without liver disease, patients with liver disease, especially those with liver cirrhosis, had higher 30-day mortality and 31–365-day mortality rate following HF. The research appears informative clinically. Thus, there are some issues that that should be addressed regarding this study.View the original paper by Montomoli and colleagues. |
