Is left ventricular relative wall thickness a predictor of 5-year mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
RWT has limited ability to predict 5-year mortality among patients with advanced stages of HF. Age emerged as the strongest independent predictor. RWT should be evaluated in conjunction with multiple clinical and laboratory parameters rather than in isolation when managing HF.
