“…They had lower readmission (p<0.05). This fact is similar to other studies, for example, the RICA study in Spain whose three-month mortality rate was 5.2% versus 13% in the acute chronic [2]. Patients with HF "de novo" had a lower readmissions, similar to NOVICA study, in Spain, in 2019 [5].…”

Prospective, cross-sectional study of observation of all patients admitted to the Internal Medicine service for one year, adults, with primary or secondary diagnosis of acute heart failure (HF). The aim of the study was to characterize this population. 118 patients (mean age 84 ± 7.9 years). 81.4% had decompensated chronic HF. On admission: 84.6% were class III and IV (NYHA); 60.5% had preserved ejection and diastolic dysfunction. Those with functional class III-IV had lower ejection fractions (59.56 vs 65.97, p <0.01). Infection was the most frequent cause of exacerbation, except for HF "again". The ID correlates independently of the presence of anemia with mortality, as well as the clinical severity and LVEF (p <0.05). The overall mortality was 52.2%. Mortality is higher in those with a previous history of cardiovascular disease. Patients with HF "again" had similar in-hospital mortality, but less after discharge. Thus, patients admitted to an internal medicine service are mostly elderly women, with pluripathology, with chronic acute HF due to infection and with high morbidity. Therefore, it is extremely important to compensate this patient and monitor closely after discharge.

“…Acute HF is characterized by abrupt presentation of symptoms, with the need for urgent medical intervention. If the patient has no history or symptoms of HF, it can be said to have a "de novo" HF [2]. On the contrary if the patient already has a previous diagnosis of HF whose symptoms worsen acutely it is called "acute chronic" [2,3].…”

“…As reported, ARB drugs gave limited end-points benefits to patients with myocardial infarction and cardiovascular disease, compared with placebo [ 28 , 29 ]. However, other investigations showed that ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers drugs can significantly reduce all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality [ 30 – 33 ]. Consistent with them, our results showed that in control group the proportion of patients who received ACEI/ARB drugs and beta-blockers was significantly higher than that in adverse group, further determining their protective roles in management of AHF patients.…”

Background. Changes of N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) have been studied whether in the long term or the short term in patients of acute heart failure (AHF); however, changes of NT-proBNP in the first five days and their association with other factors have not been investigated. Aims. To describe the dynamic changes of relevant laboratory indexes in the first five days between different outcomes of AHF patients and their associations. Methods and Results. 284 AHF with dynamic values recorded were analyzed. Changes of NT-proBNP, troponin T, and C-reactive protein were different between patients with different outcomes, with higher values in adverse group than in control group at the same time points (p < 0.05). Then, prognostic use and risk stratification of NT-proBNP were assessed by receiver-operating characteristic curve and logistic regression. NT-proBNP levels at day 3 showed the best prognostic power (area under the curve = 0.730, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.657 to 0.794) and was an independent risk factor for adverse outcome (odds ratio, OR: 2.185, 95% CI: 1.584–3.015). Classified changes of NT-proBNP may be predictive for adverse outcomes in AHF patients. Conclusions. Sequential monitoring of laboratory indexes within the first 5 days may be helpful for management of AHF patients.
