Abstract

Patients presenting to the emergency department, with acute heart failure (AHF), pose a major health care problem.1 Acute heart failure accounts for over 1,000,000 hospitalization in the United States with an in-hospital morality rate of 4.1%, and a mean length of stay of 6.5 days. Whether due to inadequate in-hospital treatment, refractory disease, noncompliance with diet or medications, or co-morbidities, there is a hospital readmission rate of 20% within 30 days, and 50% during the next 6-12-month interval. Additionally, there is a 10% mortality rate at 30 days, which increases to 20-40% at 12 months.2
