Clinical predictors of early post-discharge mortality in postmenopausal women with heart failure

Postmenopausal women with HF exhibit distinct clinical characteristics, with a high prevalence of HFpEF and cardiovascular comorbidities. Diastolic blood pressure, age, and the use of beta-blockers and ACEIs/ARBs were identified as significant prognostic factors for short-term mortality during the early post-discharge period. Appropriate management during hospitalization may contribute to reduced mortality risk in this vulnerable timeframe.
