The impact of statin use on short-term and long-term mortality in patients with heart failure
Our study unveiled that statin use was related to decreased short-term and long-term all-cause mortality rates in critically ill individuals with HF. Rosuvastatin was associated with the greatest reduction of all-cause mortality rates. Low-dose statins can significantly reduce short-term and long-term mortality, while high-dose statins are not significantly correlated with mortality. However, the results are not conclusive and should be interpreted with caution.
