Study of Visual Echocardiographic Scoring and Outcomes in Adults with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the relationship between a visual echocardiographic scoring system, called the visual mitral and tricuspid VMT score, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. The study uses secondary data collected from hospital registries, including demographic information, clinical presentations, laboratory tests, and echocardiographic results from patients diagnosed with this condition. The data analysis is performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v26. This is an observational study that does not involve experimental treatments. Instead, it reviews existing medical records and echocardiographic machine databases to gather information on patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure. The study focuses on clinical outcomes such as mortality during hospitalization, length of stay in the intensive cardiac care unit ICCU, and urine output. Participants are patients aged 18 to 70 years with a history of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction LVEF <40%. Researchers analyze data collected during hospitalization lasting up to one week. The study measures outcomes including death during hospitalization, ICCU length of stay, and urine output. No interventions or treatments are administered as part of this study, and participation involves review of existing patient data only.
