Acute Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction - COngestion Discharge Evaluation
- Conditions
- Acute Heart Failure
- Interventions
- Procedure: Clinical examination centered on congestionProcedure: Cardio-pulmonary, peritoneal, jugular and renal Doppler ultrasounds and liver elastographyProcedure: Telephone interviewBehavioral: Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)
- Registration Number
- NCT04343443
- Lead Sponsor
- Central Hospital, Nancy, France
- Brief Summary
The AHF-CODE reduced study is a prospective, non-randomized, monocenter study performed in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction admitted for worsening heart failure.
The main objective of the AHF-CODE study is to identify congestion markers (clinical, biological and ultrasound) at the end of hospitalization for acute heart failure that are associated with the risk of all cause death or rehospitalization for acute heart failure within 3 months of hospital discharge.
