EMEPIC : Value of a Mobile Team of Cardiologist Using Echocardiography for Managing Patients With Acute Heart Failure (EMEPIC)

October 25, 2010 updated by: University Paris 7 - Denis Diderot

Value of a Mobile Team of Cardiologist Using Echocardiography for Managing Patients With Acute Heart Failure

The aim of the study is to compare clinical management of patients with acute decompensation of heart failure, hospitalized in non cardiological ward, with the use of a mobile team including a cardiologist with portable echocardiography and standard care. The hypothesis is that a mobile team will lead to shorter hospitalization.
