Carpal tunnel syndrome linked to subsequent heart failure

According to findings from a large, retrospective cohort study in Germany, 8.4% of patients with CTS and 6.2% of patients without CTS received a HF diagnosis up to 10 years after the index date, representing a significant association between CTS and subsequent HF. The association was similar between men and women and was seen in patients ≥61 years of age (but not younger).
