概要	Background: Heart failure may increase risk of pneumonia due to alveoli flooding and reduced microbial clearance. Conversely, pneumonia may induce or worsen heart failure as cardiac output fails to meet the needs during infection. The objective of this study was to clarify the prevalence, clinical features, and prognostic impact of concomitant pneumonia on admission in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods and Results: In 395 consecutive patients with AHF (enrolled from April 2007 to August 2012), 63 (15.9%) had concomitant infection on admission. Among these, 26 (41.3%) received a diagnosis of pneumonia; pneumonia was defined by the appearance of a new infiltrate on chest X-ray (N=14) or computed tomography (N=12) accompanied by a fever (≥38ºC) and/or leukocytosis. Patients with pneumonia was older and had lower hemoglobin level than those without. However, there were no significant differences with respect to gender, left ventricular ejection fraction, and B-type natriuretic peptide level between the groups. Concomitant pneumonia on admission was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 2.90; P=0.038). In addition, the probability of 1-year total death among patients with pneumonia was also significantly higher than that among those without (odds ratio 4.35; P<0.001). Conclusions: Pneumonia was about a half of the concomitant infectious disease in hospitalized AHF patients, and was associated with not only short-term outcome, but also medium-term prognosis.
