Researchers are testing new measurements that can be seen on heart ultrasounds (echocardiograms) to better understand how your heart muscle is functioning when you have heart failure. Right now, doctors mainly look at how much blood your heart pumps out, but this study wants to see if new measurements of how hard your heart is working can give doctors better information about your condition and predict how you'll do.
Heart failure is a serious condition that sends many people to the hospital and causes readmissions, but patients with heart failure are very different from each other. This study exists because doctors believe that new, more detailed ultrasound measurements could help them identify different subtypes of heart failure and predict which patients will benefit most from newer treatments.

If you join this study, you'll have a detailed heart ultrasound done within 24 hours of being admitted to the hospital, and another one within 24 hours before you're discharged. During these visits, doctors will perform a comprehensive ultrasound that looks at all chambers of your heart and measures how hard your heart muscle is working. The study will also collect information about your medical history, current medications, and how you respond to treatment during your hospital stay.
