Study to Identify Different Types of Acute Heart Failure and Predict Patient Outcomes Using Functional, Imaging, and Blood Tests

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to better understand different groups of patients with acute heart failure, including those experiencing various stages of cardiogenic shock. The study focuses on identifying functional, imaging, and blood biomarkers that could help predict outcomes for these patients and assist in designing future clinical trials. It is a prospective, single-center observational cohort study involving patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. Participants in this study will be observed without receiving any experimental treatment. The research will collect data on functional parameters, radiological imaging, and blood samples for biomarker analysis, including biobanking for future studies. The study includes all stages of acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock, enrolling patients during their hospital stay. During participation, patients will be monitored from enrollment up to 5 years to assess the time to cardiovascular death or first rehospitalization for heart failure. Additional outcomes include rates of rehospitalizations, progression of cardiogenic shock, severe bleeding, renal replacement therapy, ischemic events, and brain injury diagnosis assessed at discharge. The study involves regular evaluations and long-term follow-up to improve risk prediction and patient care strategies.
