Understanding causes and outcomes in acute heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years.
- You must have a clinical diagnosis of acute heart failure based on current European Society of Cardiology guidelines.
- You must be willing to participate in the study.

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 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 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 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 is a snapshot of patients with heart failure and aims to better understand how heart failure is managed in different settings, from outpatient care to emergency treatment.
