Background Acute heart failure (AHF) is associated with a poor prognosis regardless of left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). STRONG-HF showed the efficacy and safety of a …

Background For patients hospitalized for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF),
guidelines recommend optimization of medical therapy prior to discharge. The degree to …

Background Patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction have
high risk of rehospitalization or death. Despite guideline recommendations based on high …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate the frequency and prognostic implications of urgent
heart failure (HF) visits in a large global clinical trial of HF with preserved ejection fraction …

Importance The Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Rapid Optimization, Helped by N-
Terminal Pro–Brain Natriuretic Peptide Testing of Heart Failure Therapies (STRONG-HF) …

Background Acute heart failure (AHF) hospitalization presents an opportunity to optimize
pharmacotherapy to improve outcomes. Objectives This study's aim was to define eligibility …

Patients with worsening heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) spend a large
proportion of time in the hospital and other health care facilities. The benefits of guideline …

Background: It is unclear how patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (HF) who are long-
term chronic HF survivors differ from those with more recent HF diagnoses. Objectives: The …

Acute worsening heart failure (WHF) is seen in a sizable portion of patients hospitalized for
heart failure, and is increasingly being recognized as an entity that is associated with an …

Background—Hospitalization for acute heart failure (HF) is associated with high rates of
subsequent mortality and readmission. We assessed the influence of the time interval …
