This is an observational study — meaning researchers are not testing a new medication, but rather carefully studying patients who are already hospitalized with acute heart failure. The goal is to collect blood samples, imaging results, and medical information from about 1,000 patients to identify different patterns (or 'phenotypes') of heart failure and find early warning signs that could help doctors predict which patients will have the hardest time recovering.
Acute heart failure is a serious condition that sends many people to the emergency room and hospital, but doctors don't yet have reliable ways to predict which patients will do well and which will face dangerous complications. This study aims to fill that gap by identifying biological markers and patterns that could help personalize care and improve outcomes.

If you join this study, researchers will collect blood samples from you during your hospital stay and gather information from your medical records about your heart condition, imaging tests, and other health details. You may be asked to complete additional heart tests or imaging scans that are part of your standard hospital care. Your blood samples will be stored in a biobank so scientists can continue studying them in the future to discover new ways to understand and treat heart failure.
