This is an observational study that tracks patients who come to the emergency department with acute heart failure. Researchers will follow your medical records for one year after you leave the hospital to see how many people are readmitted or experience other serious outcomes. The study aims to better predict which patients are at highest risk so doctors can provide better care.
Heart failure is a leading reason why older adults need emergency care and hospital stays, but doctors still need better tools to predict which patients will struggle most after they go home. This study will help identify warning signs and improve how we care for people with this condition.

You will be enrolled when you come to the emergency department with heart failure. Researchers will collect information from your medical records about your condition and treatment. You will then be contacted at 30 days and one year after leaving the hospital to check on your health status, hospitalizations, and other outcomes. No medications or special procedures will be tested — the study is purely observational.
