Similar previous publications have employed smaller samples and were conducted with hospitalized patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5–7,13–15</span></a> We believe these results are representative of the current reality of AHF care in Spain because the study analyzed all patients who were admitted for AHF, including those discharged from the HED and who presumably showed milder AHF.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In our analysis, the profile of a patient with AHF is that of an individual older than 75 years, with high comorbidity. When categorizing AHF as NOAHF or CDHF, we observed that the NOAHF group had lower comorbidity, had a better functional condition and were administered fewer drugs. Due to the large sample size, many of the differences observed between NOAHF and CDHF were statistically significant (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">p</span><span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span><<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>.05), although their clinical significance might not be relevant. We attribute the results to the fact that patients with NOAHF are in an earlier stage of the disease's natural history.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of the characteristics of the acute episode, patients with NOAHF present higher blood pressure and heart rate levels upon arrival at the HED, possibly because they are not undergoing prior drug therapy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> However, previous studies have shown that preserved or high blood pressure readings during an AHF episode are associated with a better prognosis,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> which is consistent with that observed in our study. The patients with CDHF presented poorer laboratory test results, except for troponin values. However, troponin levels were only measured in half of the patients because the indication for measuring cardiac troponin in HF was subsequent to the inclusion of a number of patients, and compliance with this recommendation is not optimal.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> Moreover, the measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide was low. Once again, low compliance with the guidelines could be one of the explanations, as well as the lack of availability of this biomarker in some HEDs.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> This fact is especially relevant for patients with NOAHF, given the recommendation for always measuring this biomarker in these patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our results also suggest that the patients with CDHF presented greater severity because their baseline saturation was lower and more often required oxygen therapy, invasive and noninvasive ventilation, and infusions of drugs (diuretics, inotropic agents and nitrates). Infection was the most common trigger in the 2 groups, followed by rapid atrial fibrillation, which was more common in the patients with NOAHF, possibly because many of the patients with CDHF were treated with drugs that slowed the heart rate. Coronary ischemia was also more common in the patients with NOAHF, although it occurred in only 5% of these patients. This result is worth discussing because previous studies that suggested a poorer prognosis for patients with NOAHF showed an overall incidence rate of acute myocardial infarction of approximately 30% and always higher in the NOAHF group.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5–7,15</span></a> The excess mortality in this group could therefore be related to the trigger (coronary ischemia) and not to HF. We attribute the difference between these studies and ours to (a) the fact that the EAHFE registry excludes patients with STE-ACS on their arrival at the HED and (b) to the fact that the previous studies were conducted in cardiology or intensive care departments, where patients with coronary ischemia are more frequently admitted.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of the patients’ destination, 6457 were hospitalized (74.7%), a result similar to previous studies in which the figure ranged from 64% (Canada) to 84% (US).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0195"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> The patients with CDHF presented a greater need for hospitalization, probably due to their greater comorbidity and poorer functional status. The number of ICU admissions was higher for the patients with NOAHF despite presenting less severity, which could be due to (a) the rate of coronary ischemia as the episode trigger, a more common event for patients with NOAHF and (b) the fact that a number patients with CDHF were likely not admitted to ICUs due to their poorer functional profile, age and degree of dependence. It is notable that the most common destination for the patients with NOAHF was the internal medicine ward and not cardiology, as recommended.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> This result could be due to the study population's characteristics and the availability of hospital beds.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of prognosis, the differences in hospital mortality were not statistically significant, A result that differs from that of other published studies where patients with NOAHF presented greater hospital mortality.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6,7</span></a> Our study did not include patients with STE-ACS, a more common trigger than cardiogenic shock,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> which could explain this result. Crude mortality at 1 year was higher for the patients with CDHF. This result has been observed in previous studies<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14,15,19,20</span></a> and can be attributed to a more advanced phase in the disease's natural history, greater comorbidity and poorer baseline functional status. In fact, this reduction in risk is corrected in the model with overall fit.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The crude and adjusted readmission rates for AHF at 30 days postdischarge were lower for NOAHF. However, we can hypothesize that when treating patients with better functional status and lower comorbidity, some of the readmissions can occur in primary care or emergency care systems other than HEDs.</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is worth mentioning our study's limitations, which include the exclusion of patients with AHF associated with STE-ACS, The lack of information on the causes of death and the fact that clinical diagnoses were employed for including patients with HF; however, this reflects the clinical practice in our setting. Healthcare data regarding the phase of prehospital emergency care were not collected. These data might have affected the prognosis<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12,21</span></a> and could differ between the patients with and without a history of HF. Finally, given that this was a secondary analysis, there was no prior calculation of the sample size, and we cannot therefore rule out a second species error in a number of the estimates.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Conclusions</span><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Patients admitted to an HED for NOAHF presented a clinical profile different from that of patients with CDHF.
