- Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the most common causes of hospitalization, associated with a high risk of mortality. The current treatment is mainly symptomatic, and laboratory tests are carried out in order to complement the clinical evaluation in the diagnosis and help in establishing the admission and prognostic risk profile. This study aimed to characterize the clinical, pharmacotherapeutic and laboratory profile of patients hospitalized with acute heart failure in a regional reference hospital. This is a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Study participants were those discharged due to AHF according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), admitted to the emergency room. Excluding the participation of patients with hospitalization time of less than 24 hours, under 18 years old. For statistical analysis, SPSS version 21.0 was used. As for the pharmacotherapeutic profile, the most frequent drugs were those that act on the cardiovascular and digestive systems and metabolism, with furosemide being the most frequent drug. The analysis between laboratory changes and the ADHERE scale revealed a statistically significant difference between patients at low risk and intermediate/high risk in hemoglobin (p=0.005), TGO (p=0.001), creatinine (p=0.000) values, urea (p=0.000), potassium (p=0.004), APTT (p=0.004) and INR (p=0.021). It was concluded that the medications often corresponded to the recommended treatment in the initial management of patients with AHF. Intermediate/high risk of in-hospital mortality according to the ADHERE scale were associated with laboratory alterations in patients with AHF.
