Figure 1

Cause-specific death risk estimates were derived from the ASCEND-HF (Acute Study of Clinical Effectiveness of Nesiritide in Decompensated Heart Failure), EVEREST (Efficacy of Vasopressin Antagonism in Heart Failure Outcome Study With Tolvaptan),5 and RELAX-AHF (Relaxin in Acute Heart Failure) trials.6 Abbreviations: HFrEF = heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; ICD = implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
