Abstract
Hospitalized patients with heart failure had lower 30-day mortality when treated by cardiologists than when they were treated by other physicians. Although these differences were modest (RR = 1.07) for internists, they were substantial for general physicians (RR = 1.26) and family physicians (RR = 1.31); of note was that inpatient cardiology consultation did not appear to change this relation.
