Primary Outcome Measures:

Course of care in the Emergency Department (ED) and course of care in the inpatient hospital, use of diuretics (increase urine excretion) vasodilators (relax artey and veins) and inotropeic agents (increase the function of the heart) rate of death [ Time Frame: From admission to discharge from the hospital ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Data from patient demographics ( sex, age, gender, race) [ Time Frame: at patients admission ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

The objective is to compile a clinical database on the strategy for the medical management of patients hospitalized with acute Heart Failure (HF). Through the use of the information collected from acute care hospitals across the United States the following information may be coming out of this study: 1) Assist hospitals in evaluating and improving quality of care for patients with acute HF by tracking quality indicators and providing benchmark data reports; 2) Describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who are hospitalized with acute HF; 3) Characterize the initial emergency department evaluation and subsequent inpatient management of patients hospitalized with acute HF; 4) Identify patient characteristics and medical care practices associated with improved health outcomes in those hospitalized with acute HF; 5) Characterize trends and changes over time in the management of acute HF; 6) Offer surveillance of adherence to practice guidelines as these emerge for the inpatient management of acute HF. Observational Study - No investigational drug administered

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of admission to the hospital
Received or is eligible to receive a principal hospital discharge diagnosis of HF
Decompensated HF is present as determined clinically by the patient care team

Exclusion Criteria:

HF is present as a co-morbid condition, but is not a principal focus of diagnosis or treatment during this hospitalization episode
