A Multicentre Cohort Study of Acute Heart Failure Syndromes in Korea: Rationale, Design, and Interim Observations of the Korean Acute Heart Failure (KorAHF) Registry

Abstract

Our analysis reveals that the prognosis of AHFS in Korea is poor and that there are specific features, including lower blood pressures at admission and lower rates of heart failure related to hypertension, compared with other registries. Adherence to current guidelines should be improved.
