Patients presenting to the hospital with congestive heart failure

You may qualify if:

  • Patient presenting to the hospital with congestive heart failure, defined as:
  • Clinical signs of heart failure
  • Major criteria
  • Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
  • Orthopnea
  • Jugular venous distension
  • Pulmonary crackling rales
  • rd heart sound
  • Cardiothoracic ratio \> 0.5 on X-ray
  • Pulmonary oedema on X-ray
  • Minor Criteria
  • peripheral oedema
  • nocturnal cough
  • dyspnoea at exercise
  • hepatomegaly
  • +5 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Evidence of primary hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy or systemic illness known to be associated with infiltrative heart disease
  • Known cause of right heart failure not related to left ventricular dysfunction
  • Pericardial constriction
  • Clinically significant pulmonary disease, as evidenced by requirement of home oxygen.
  • End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis
  • Bi-ventricular pacemaker (CRT)
