Impact of cerebral oxygen saturation on mortality and rehospitalisation in patients with heart failure and the role of physical activity as a modifying factor: the HARVEST-Malmö Study
Higher SctO2 at rest is associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality but it was not possible to show significant association with first-of-any rehospitalisation risk in patients with HF. Physical inactivity is associated with lower cerebral oxygen saturation at rest. These findings could suggest SctO2 as a potential marker associated with long-term outcomes in HF, warranting larger confirmatory studies.
