This is an observational study that looks at patients hospitalized with acute heart failure to understand how respiratory virus infections—such as influenza, RSV, and coronavirus—may be connected to their heart condition. Researchers will test nasopharyngeal swabs (a quick nasal sample) to detect these viruses and examine whether certain respiratory infections lead to different heart failure presentations or symptoms.
Doctors have noticed that respiratory virus infections may trigger or worsen acute heart failure in some patients, but they don't yet fully understand how common this connection is or how it changes across different seasons. This study will help clarify these patterns so that hospitals can better prepare for and treat patients with both conditions.

As a participant, you would have already had a nasal swab test performed as part of your regular hospital care within 72 hours of admission for heart failure. The study involves allowing researchers to review your medical records and test results to track whether you have a respiratory virus, how severe your heart failure symptoms are, and how you respond to treatment during your hospital stay. There are no additional medications or procedures required beyond what you would normally receive for your heart failure.
