Why the study?
A better understanding of the clinical course of congestion and perfusion status could play an important role toward implementing targeted strategies to improve outcomes.
Does clinical classification based on congestion/perfusion status impact in-hospital and long-term outcomes in acute heart failure?
Does clinical classification based on congestion/perfusion status impact in-hospital and long-term outcomes in acute heart failure?
Classification based on congestion and perfusion status provides clinically relevant prognostic information for acute heart failure patients at admission and discharge.
May aid prognostication in acute HF; leaves open whether congestion/perfusion status should guide therapy.
Classification based on congestion/perfusion status provides clinically relevant information at hospital admission and discharge. A better understanding of the clinical course of the two entities could play an important role towards the implementation of targeted strategies that may improve outcomes.
