Brief Summary

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a major public health problem, associated with a 40% risk of death or re-hospitalisation at 3 months. This risk is significantly increased by insufficient decongestion at the end of hospitalisation for AHF assessed by a standardised clinical score, a natriuretic peptide dosage or by cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound . Adapting treatment according to lung congestion assessed by implantable devices (not reimbursed in France) improves the prognosis. However, due to the lack of a standardised congestion assessment, therapeutic adaptation in acute heart failure is currently empirical. The best multimodality approach to congestion evaluation is uncertain.

Study Arms (1)

Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure will undergo the following evaluations: * Clinical examination focusing on congestion * Cardiac, pulmonary, peritoneal, jugular and renal venous Doppler ultrasounds * Blood sample retrieved for biological assessment and biobanking * Telephone follow-up

Procedure: Clinical examination centered on congestionProcedure: Cardiac, pulmonary, peritoneal, jugular, renal Doppler ultrasounds and liver elastographyProcedure: Blood sample retrieved for biological assessment and biobankingProcedure: Telephone follow-upBehavioral: Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)

Interventions

Clinical examination centered on congestion (ASCEND, NYHA and Ambrosy Score) will be performed before discharge from hospital

Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure

Cardiac, pulmonary, peritoneal, jugular and renal Doppler ultrasounds and liver elastography will be performed before discharge from hospital

Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure

Blood sample retrieved for biological assessment and biobanking will be performed before discharge from hospital

Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure

Telephone follow-up will be performed 3, 12 and 24 months after discharge from hospital
