Clinical Trial Summary

The AHF-CODE preserved study is a prospective, non-randomized, monocenter study performed in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction admitted for worsening heart failure.

The main objective of the AHF-CODE preserved study is to identify congestion markers (clinical, biological and ultrasound) at the end of hospitalization for acute heart failure that are associated with the risk of all cause death or rehospitalization for acute heart failure within 3 months of hospital discharge.

Blood sample collection will be performed before discharge from hospital
• Telephone interview
Telephone interview will be performed at 3, 12 months and 24 months after discharge from Hospital

Behavioral:
• Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)
Questionnaire centered on patient's quality of life at discharge and 3, 12 and 24 months after discharge
