Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction As a Sign of Irreversible Advanced Heart Failure

Sponsor: University Hospital Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg

Summary

The main hypothesis is that autonomic dysfunction cannot improve among patients reaching end-stage heart failure. To evaluate this, patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure in Bispebjerg hospital, and history one or more admissions with the same condition within the prior year, will undergo repeated brief heart monitoring (10 min). Baseline recordings (at admission) will be compared with equivalent measurements before discharge to explore whether heart rate variability increases. Patients will be followed for six months after discharge from the hospital.
