BackgroundSeveral cardiotoxic substances impact heart failure incidence. The burden of comorbid tobacco or substance use disorders among heart failure patients is under-characterized. We describe the burden of tobacco and substance use disorders among hospitalized heart failure patients in the United States.MethodsWe calculated the proportion of primary heart failure hospitalizations in the 2014 National Inpatient Sample with tobacco or substance use disorders accounting for demographic factors.ResultsOf 989,080 heart failure hospitalizations, 15.5% (n = 152,965) had documented tobacco (n = 119,285, 12.1%) or substance (n = 61,510, 6.2%) use disorder. Female sex was associated with lower rates of tobacco (odds ratio [OR] 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.74) and substance (OR 0.37; 95% CI, 0.36-0.39) use disorder. Tobacco and substance use disorder rates were highest for hospitalizations
