Conditions studied: Heart Failure

In brief

Purpose of the study: To identify whether Electrocardiographic QRS voltage changes (between admission and pre-discharge) and pre discharge 6- minute walk test in patients admitted with acute heart failure can identify patients at risk for recurrent admissions for heart failure.
