Official title
The Utility of Serial BNP Levels as a Predictor of Adverse Outcomes in Emergency Department CHF
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a series of BNP blood tests performed on patients who present to the Emergency Department with congestive heart failure (CHF) can predict which patients may have adverse outcomes. If the BNP is shown to be predictive of bad outcomes in certain patients, those patients might receive more intensive therapy early to prevent such outcomes. This was a prospective trial enrolling patients who presented to the ED and were diagnosed with heart failure. Subjects had a blood test for BNP, which is elevated in the presence of heart failure, collected twelve hours after their initial clinical BNP was obtained in the ED. Demographics, history, length of hospital stay, and other approved data were collected. At 30 days and 6 months after discharge, a follow up call was made to determine if the subject had required additional emergency care, had been admitted to a hospital, or had died during that period of time.
