Acute heart failure checklist in the emergency department
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a checklist to help doctors better manage patients who come to the emergency department with sudden or worsening shortness of breath caused by acute heart failure. The goal is to improve care and outcomes for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You come to the emergency department with new or worsening shortness of breath due to acute heart failure.
- You are not visiting the emergency department primarily for another condition like pneumonia or a blood clot in the lungs.
- You do not have a heart attack (myocardial infarction) diagnosed in the emergency department.
- You are not expected to live less than 60 days due to a terminal illness.

This study tests a simple tool (the Heart Risk 6 Scale) to help doctors decide if someone with acute heart failure can safely go home from the emergency department. It looks at your symptoms and vital signs to predict your risk.
This study is testing a prediction tool to help doctors quickly and accurately diagnose acute heart failure (when your heart suddenly cannot pump blood well). If you have symptoms like shortness of breath or leg swelling, joining may help improve how fast and correctly you get the right treatment.
This study looks at adults with acute heart failure to find out what causes it and how well different risk scores can predict outcomes. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
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 whether measuring multiple biomarkers (specific proteins in the blood) can help predict how older patients with heart failure will do. It aims to improve care and follow-up for elderly people who come to the emergency room with severe breathing difficulty.
This study investigates different types of acute heart failure in hospitalized patients to better understand their condition and improve treatment. Researchers will use multiple imaging and testing methods to create a detailed picture of each patient's heart failure.
