Abstract

Abstract. Background. Sepsis is the leading cause of death in hospitalized patients and significant effort has been made to facilitate early diagnosis and management. However, aggressive treatment can have negative effects, especially in patients with unstable volume status, such as those with congestive heart failure. Methods. We used electronic medical records to perform a retrospective study looking at hospital outcomes in patients from Southwest Missouri who were admitted with sepsis and had a comorbid diagnosis of hypertensive heart failure. Our primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
