Popis:	Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a diverse syndrome (Table 3.1) encompassing multiple disease states and marked by variable rates of progression. The average hospitalized patient with heart failure (HF) faces a 1 year mortality of 30 % and a readmission rate of 50 % at 6 months [1, 2]. Acute exacerbations of chronic heart failure are common and frequently result in hospitalizations which are costly for all parties and subject hospitals to financial penalties for re-admissions. This readmission penalty is imposed regardless of the cause for the readmission and in fact, most patients are readmitted for conditions other than recurrent CHF.
