Registry for patients with acute heart failure

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a registry of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure to better understand the diverse etiologies, clinical presentations, and co-morbidities associated with this condition. By collecting data on patients' symptoms, signs, and biomarkers such as brain natriuretic peptide levels, the study seeks to identify prognostic factors that influence outcomes. The findings could help tailor treatment strategies and improve patient management in acute heart failure cases.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Usual clinical presentation of acute heart failure as defined by the European Society of Cardiology : Gradual onset or new or worsening symptoms of rapid heart failure (eg, dyspnea, edema of the lower limbs and tiredness ) and signs of heart failure (eg elevation of jugular venous pressure, crackles, moving the shock peak) requiring urgent treatment.
* Brain natriuretic peptide or value of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) greater than 100 ng / L.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability or refusal to consent to participate in the study cohort.
