Brief Summary:
The purpose of the ADHERE study is to develop a multi-center, observational, open-label registry of the management strategies of patients treated in the hospital for acute Heart Failure in the United States.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Heart Failure, Congestive Heart Decompensation Other: Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

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

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 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Data from patient demographics ( sex, age, gender, race) [ Time Frame: at patients admission ]
