Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients of both sexes, with age equal to or above 18 years, diagnosed with decompensated HR (systolic dysfunction), according to the Boston Criteria (score \> 8 points), who agree to participate in the study and sign an informed consent form.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients presenting with endogenous creatinine clearance (ECC) values lower than or equal to 50-60 mL/min (obtained by the Cockcroft-Gault equation) at hospital admission, cardiogenic shock, survival compromised by another evolving disease, those with difficulty complying with treatment (dementia, cognitive deficit).
