Predicting acute heart failure in the emergency department
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You should have symptoms like shortness of breath, swelling in your legs, or trouble breathing when lying flat.
- You cannot have a recent injury or be pregnant.
- You must not need a breathing tube or ventilator right now.
- You must be willing to take part in the study.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
