Official title
Improving Heart Failure Risk Stratification in the ED
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
People with heart failure (HF) symptoms who are seen in the emergency department (ED) are often admitted to the hospital even though it may not be necessary. This study will gather information from HF patients seen in the ED to develop a decision-making tool that will help doctors predict the risk of HF-related death or serious complications. Improving the ability of ED doctors to effectively and safely manage low-risk HF patients should lead to fewer unnecessary hospitalizations.
