The Association Between Visual Echocardiographic Scoring System and Clinical Outcomes in Patient With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

This study is testing whether a simple visual scoring system based on echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) findings can reliably predict outcomes for patients hospitalized with acutely worsening heart failure — helping doctors make quicker, better decisions at the bedside. **You may be eligible if...** - You have heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (your heart pumps out less than 40% of its blood with each beat) - You are between 18 and 70 years old - You are being hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of your heart failure symptoms) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lung arteries) - Your heart failure is brand new and caused by a heart attack (acute de novo heart failure) - You have significant valve disease (more than moderate leakage or moderate narrowing) - You have had a prior heart valve replacement Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
