Adverse Events Among Emergency Department Patients With Cardiovascular Conditions: A Multicenter Study
2021, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :By understanding the kinds of adverse outcomes that occur after an ED visit, emergency physicians can improve their calibration and, it is hoped, avoid preventable errors A large proportion (20% to 60%) of patients with acute heart failure return to the ED within 30 days, but it is not known how many return visits represent adverse events or simply progression of disease.6-10 Risk factors for adverse outcomes among patients discharged with recent-onset atrial fibrillation have been identified, but it is not known what proportion is related to emergency care.11
Human Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Treatment for Acute Heart Failure: A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Mortality
2012, Canadian Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Similar to hBNP, hANP is expected to provide symptomatic relief.27 It has been stated that in emergency departments, the treatment patterns for acute heart failure are mostly symptomatic.36 Thus, the symptomatic relief offered by hANP may be useful under such circumstances.
Acute heart failure: Lessons learned So Far
2011, Canadian Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :In Canada, nearly 30%-40% of patients seen with possible HF in the ED are discharged home without hospital admission. In one study of a randomly selected sample of 448 patients presenting to an ED in 1 of 3 large urban hospitals93 reported only 55% were admitted. Of those not admitted, nearly 20% either re-presented to ED or died over the following 30 days.
