Brief Summary
After decompensated heart failure, a number of patients have high risk of early rehospitalization as well as death. Specialized medical management for a short period but very early after discharge could be critical for optimizing care and improving early outcome. This study aims to compare such early intensive medical management with usual care in high-risk patients after discharge.

usual disease management
ACTIVE COMPARATORusual care according to guidelines; including first medical consultation and biological test within the 4-week time following discharge.
Interventions
Optimization of treatments Education on the signs of alert of the disease and on the medicines Reduction of the rate of BNP or NTproBNP = 30 % between the exit of the hospitalization and the second consultation Planning of an adapted coverage
