title: Serum Copeptin Level as a Predictor of One-Year Mortality after Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Hospitalization
abstract: Background: Acutely decompensated heart failure patients have variable clinical outcomes. Some predictors of mortality in acute heart failure as resting heart rate, blood pressure, Pro-BNP level, and others have been identified. This study addresses the question whether copeptin may add value in the one-year prognosis in this category of high-risk patients. Results: To assess the relationship of serum copeptin level with one year mortality, we evaluated serum copeptin at admission and after 72 h
