What this Trial Is About
Every day, patients present to emergency department due to acute heart failure. There are many causes for decompensation. One possible cause is a lack of adherence to heart failure medication (prognosis-improving medications and diuretics). The aim of this study is to directly measure adherence in patients with acute heart failure (gold standard of adherence measurement using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry= LC-HRMS/MS) at the emergency department. Questionnaires are used to investigate possible factors influencing adherence.
