Abstract
Heart failure (HF) may be associated with pneumonia as HF is one of the most common complications of patients who have a primary diagnosis of pneumonia. Patients who develop HF from pneumonia are associated with higher severity of pneumonia and higher mortality rate. The purpose of this review was to summarize the association between pneumonia and HF with the available literature and discuss the pathophysiology underlying it. Ten studies have been included in this review to support the association between pneumonia and HF. Awareness of this association is essential for clinical management and to improve the outcomes of the patients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Pulmonary Medicine provides a forum for the discussion of important new knowledge in the field of pulmonary medicine that is of interest and relevance to the practitioner. This goal is achieved through mini-reviews on focused sub-specialty topics in areas covered within the journal. These areas include: Obstructive Airways Disease; Respiratory Infections; Interstitial, Inflammatory, and Occupational Diseases; Clinical Practice Management; Critical Care/Respiratory Care; Colleagues in Respiratory Medicine; and Topics in Respiratory Medicine.
