Abstract
- Background:Hospital quality performance measures for heart failure (HF) target patients with a principal discharge diagnosis of HF. However, patients with chronic HF are commonly admitted for other causes and are recommended treatments such as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of care for HF patients who are hospitalized for all causes.
