Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the most common cause of hospitalization in patients over the age of 65, and hospitalization due to HF represents the single most costly aspect of HF management. Therefore, reducing heart failure admissions has become a critical goal in the management of HF from both a patient and societal perspective. Despite major advances in HF management, the recently published PACT-HF trial still demonstrated a 20% 30-day all cause re-admission rate. This study examined whether patients evaluated by a HF cardiologist in a very early post-discharge HF follow-up clinic, called the quick Heart Failure (qHF) clinic, had a lower than predicted 30-day readmission rate.
