Abstract
Congestion is the main reason for hospital admission for acute decompensated heart
failure (ADHF). A better understanding of the clinical course of congestion and factors
associated with decongestion are therefore important. We studied the clinical course,
predictors and prognostic value of congestion in a cohort of patients admitted for
ADHF by including different indirect markers of congestion (residual clinical congestion,
brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) trajectories, hemoconcentration or diuretic response).
