Supports hospital-based decision support with rapid follow-up for emergency acute heart failure; extends randomized evidence for structured pathways improving 30-day outcomes.
Among patients with acute heart failure who were seeking emergency care, the use of a hospital-based strategy to support clinical decision making and rapid follow-up led to a lower risk of the composite of death from any cause or hospitalization for cardiovascular causes within 30 days than usual care.
