Early or Non-revoked in Hospital-day in Patients With Acute Heart Failure

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Heart failure is one of the major causes of hospitalization in Brazil and worldwide. Recent studies attempt to identify readmission and prognostic markers at the time of discharge from these patients. The reassessment and possibility of early therapeutic adjustment may be relevant in this context. Therefore, the prospective and randomized comparative use of early re-evaluation in Hospital-day versus non-intervention group has not yet been described. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact on the re-hospitalization rate in 30 days of the early re-evaluation of the patients in the day-hospital versus the non-intervention group in heart failure. For this, a unicentric, randomized and prospective study will be performed, in which the Hospital-Day strategy is performed versus no intervention in a comparative manner. Hospital data (test results, medical outcomes, complications) of patients will be analyzed for safety and effectiveness. The hypothesis of this study is that the Hospital-Day strategy is superior to the non-intervention strategy and causes fewer rehospitalizations within 30 days.
