Objectives: This study was designed to determine the relevance of a proposed classification
for advanced heart failure (HF). Profiles based on clinical assessment of congestion and …

Advanced heart failure (HF) is associated with frequent hospitalizations, poor quality of life,
and increased mortality. Despite optimal medical management, readmission rates remain …

Background Patients with advanced heart failure may continue for prolonged times with
persistent hemodynamic abnormalities; intermediate-and long-term outcomes of these …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the value of noninvasive predictors of
death/mode of death in ambulant outpatients with chronic heart failure (HF). Background …

The association between higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and
poor outcome in heart failure (HF) is well known. However, to what extent these associations …

Background: A number of prognostic indexes have been developed to predict the outcome
of patients with severe heart failure (HF). In patients with mild to moderate HF, however …

BACKGROUND: Prognostic stratification in heart failure (HF) is crucial to guide clinical
management and treatment decision-making. Currently available models to predict HF …

BACKGROUND: Previous validation studies of congestive heart failure (CHF) signs and
symptoms were performed in acute settings. Few data have supported the validity of CHF …

BACKGROUND: Decompensated heart failure (HF) is among the most common indications
for hospitalization in the United States, but little is known about features on admission that …

Background—We determined whether estimated hemodynamics from history and physical
examination (H&P) reflect invasive measurements and predict outcomes in advanced heart …
