Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Use of a Cardiac Scale to Predict Heart Failure Events: Design of SCALE-HF 1
Study context
- Population
- Patients with chronic heart failure (HF) and recent decompensationapproximately
- Participants
- 300 patients
- Planned comparison
- Heart function index vs simple weight-based rule-of-thumb algorithms
- Primary endpoint
- Sensitivity, unexplained alert rate and alerting time of the index in predicting worsening HF events (urgent, unscheduled clinic, ED or hospitalization for worsening HF)
