In Patients With Severe Advanced Heart Failure, Non Response To Decrease [V Filling Pressure Is Not Associated With Worse Survival And Outcomes: Insights From The Escape (Evaluation Study Of Congestive Heart Failure And Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Effectiveness) Trial

Data ESCAPE trial showed the use of pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) did not improve outcomes in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We sought to determine whether patients who had improvement in filling pressures (responders) differed from patients who did not (non responders)
