Clinical Value of Novel Echocardiographic Biomarkers Assessing Myocardial Work in Acute Heart Failure-Rationale and Design of the "Beyond Myo-HF Study".

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite ongoing treatment advancements in chronic heart failure (HF), mortality and readmission rates remain high for patients hospitalized for decompensated acute HF. These patients represent a distinct HF group, which requires emergent echocardiographic evaluation in an attempt to provide optimal and individualized acute care. The role of serial advanced echocardiographic assessment in acute HF for risk stratification and treatment guidance has not been thoroughly explored.

Methods

The "Beyond Myo-HF Study" is a prospective, non-interventional cohort trial designed to enroll acutely admitted patients with symptoms and/or signs of HF. The aim of this study is to investigate whether intrahospital changes of conventional and novel echocardiographic indices of myoca
