Heart risk score for emergency room heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a simple scoring tool to help doctors decide if patients with sudden heart failure can safely go home from the emergency department within 24 hours. It looks at vital signs and symptoms to see who is stable enough for discharge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had shortness of breath or feeling very tired for less than 7 days.
- You have signs of extra fluid in your body (like swelling in your legs or fluid in your lungs).
- Your condition is caused by a heart problem (other reasons ruled out).
- You are not too sick to be safely discharged after a day in the emergency department.
- Your oxygen level while breathing normally is 85% or higher.
- Your heart rate is 120 beats per minute or less, and your systolic blood pressure is 85 mm Hg or higher.

This study is looking at ways to better predict acute heart failure in people who come to the hospital with shortness of breath. If you join, researchers will use your information to develop a tool that might help doctors diagnose heart failure more quickly and accurately.
This study looks at whether combining multiple blood markers can better predict outcomes for older adults (75+) with acute heart failure who come to the emergency room with severe shortness of breath.
This study tests if using a checklist for acute heart failure in the emergency department helps doctors make better decisions. The checklist is meant for patients whose main problem is heart failure, not another condition.
This study looks at what causes acute heart failure and how well certain scoring systems can predict patient outcomes. It aims to improve care by identifying risk factors and predicting results.
This registry collects information from patients admitted to the hospital with acute heart failure (sudden worsening of the heart's pumping ability). Researchers will study your heart rhythm, blood markers, and medical history to better understand heart failure patterns and outcomes.
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
