Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare clinical management of patients with acute decompensation of heart failure, hospitalized in non cardiological ward, with the use of a mobile team including a cardiologist with portable echocardiography and standard care. The hypothesis is that a mobile team will lead to shorter hospitalization.
Detailed Description
Randomized, controlled, monocentric study comparing Standard care with the care provided by a mobile team including a cardiologist with mobile echocardiography, systematic follow up à 3 days, a dietician advice in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure in a non cardiology ward on the duration of hospitalization, re-hospitalization rate à 30 days, emergency visit within 30 days, treatment at discharge, mortality within hospital stay and at 30 days.
