Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with increasing prevalence. Currently, there are extensive evidence-based therapies targeted at managing patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) to improve outcomes. The National Heart Failure Audit shows the quality of inpatient care (specialist review, discharge medication etc) is related to outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the current practice at a London tertiary centre hospital in managing patients with heart failure and compared outcomes in patients who had a short course of admission (less than 1 day) with those who had a more prolonged course of admission.
