Detailed description

This is an Observational (individuals are observed or certain outcomes are measured. no attempt is made to affect the outcome), multi-center registry study of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) for treatment of known or suspected Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF). Data will be collected on the medical management of patients presenting to the ED who are treated for ADHF in a hospital setting incorporating a disease management program for heart failure. The study will evaluate change in clinical management and outcomes of ADHF patients treated in the ED after ED implementation of three or more components of a disease management program for heart failure.
