Tables S1 - Prognostic Implication of Physical Signs of Congestion in Acute Heart Failure Patients and Its Association with Steady-State Biomarker Levels

This file includes Table S1 and S2. Table S1. Presence of physical signs by the use of guideline-based heart failure medications on admission. All the data in the table are percentages. There was no significant difference in the readmission rate between patients receiving each of the optimal guidelinebased medications before and after admission. Individually, patients on beta-blockers had a lower percentage of jugular venous distention, edema, and S3 (P = 0.042, 0.010, and 0.028, respectively). Patients receiving spironolactone before admission had a lower percentage of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, edema, and rales (P = 0.023, 0.004, and 0.002, respectively). Table S2. Readmission rate according to the use of guidelinebased heart failure medication at the time of admission. (DOC)
