Abstract
- Early worsening heart failure (WHF), defined as worsening of symptoms and signs of heart failure requiring intensification of medical or mechanical therapy during an admission for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), has recently been recognized as a risk of morbidity or mortality after the discharge. Although echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV) output has been shown to be associated with long-term outcome in heart failure patients, its predictive value for early WHF has not been elucidated. Prospect trial to Elucidate the utility of EchocarDiography-based Cardiac output in acute heart failure (PREDICT) is a multicenter, nonrandomized, prospective observational study to test the predictive value of echocardiographic LV output parameters for early WHF in ADHF patients. We will enroll patients admitted to 16 participating hospitals due to ADHF who did not receive positive inotropic agents as an initial therapy. Primary outcome will be set at early WHF defined as need for initiation of positive inotropic agents within 7 days after the admission. Predictive accuracy will be compared between Doppler echocardiographic LV output (stroke distance, stroke volume index, and cardiac index) and low perfusion findings assessed by physical examination. N/A. The PREDICT is expected to provide large data set to test the predictive value of echocardiographic LV output for early WHF in ADHF patients.
