Short- and long-term outlook after emergency admission for 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 is an observational cohort of adults admitted to the Emergency Department at the University of Monastir with a primary discharge diagnosis of acute heart failure. Patients will be classified as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and baseline clinical data will be recorded. The main outcomes are mortality and rehospitalization at 30 days and one year, determined through clinic follow-up and medical record review. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients, those with altered consciousness or needing immediate mechanical/hemodynamic/ventilatory support, and individuals unable to comply with follow-up are excluded and no interventional treatments are assigned.
