Prognostic Value of Short-Term Follow-up of Multiple Biomarkers After Discharge in Hospitalized Patients With Acute Heart Failure (POSTBIO-HF): Rationale and Study Design.

ABSTRACT: Several surrogate biomarkers possess prognostic significance for heart failure (HF), and a decline in their respective values may predict clinical improvement. However, data on the prognostic value of these biomarkers during short-term follow-up after discharge in acute decompensated HF are scarce. We aim to evaluate the prognostic value of short-term follow-up of surrogate biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of hospitalized patients with acute decompensated HF. This multi-center, prospective study will enroll consecutive hospitalized patients with acute decompensated HF. All patients will undergo sampling and comparison of biomarkers, including plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, growth differentiation factor 15, troponin-T, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and urinar
