Primary outcomePrimary: Emergency Room Visit or Hospitalization for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) — 20 participants
Summary
Purpose of the study: To identify whether Electrocardiographic QRS voltage changes (between admission and pre-discharge) and pre discharge 6- minute walk test in patients admitted with acute heart failure can identify patients at risk for recurrent admissions for heart failure.
