Impact of acupuncture on mortality in patients with disabilities and newly diagnosed heart failure: a nationwide cohort study
This study suggests that acupuncture exposure is associated with reduced mortality in people with disabilities who are newly diagnosed with heart failure. While several limitations exist, we highlight the potential role of acupuncture in managing cardiovascular diseases in this population and encourage further research to support healthcare policies.
