Detailed description

Methodology: Pilot, prospective, open, randomized controlled trial with 1-year follow-up for CHF patients admitted to 10 French hospital from March 2017 through February 2018, for acute decompensation of CHF. Patients will be randomly assigned to conventional hospital care or to the HC and treated with intravenous diuretics. Following discharge within 48 hours from the hospital, patients in the HC group will be treated at home. Follow-up will be conducted for both groups at discharge, 3 and 12 months after inclusion in the study.
