Heart failure risk study for older adults in the ER
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 75 years or older
- You went to the emergency room with severe shortness of breath that needed oxygen or special monitoring
- You were diagnosed with acute heart failure by two heart specialists
- You agreed to let the researchers use your medical data from another study you joined

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 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.
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 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 study looks at whether a special EKG test (HF-QRS) and a blood test for fibrosis can help doctors better predict risks in people with chronic heart failure. If you join, you will help see if these tests work as well as or better than standard tests alone.
This study collects information from adults hospitalized with heart failure to better understand the condition and outcomes. It may help doctors improve care over time by tracking symptoms, test results, and treatments.
