Prognostic Effect of Carbohydrate Antigen 125-guided Therapy in Patients Recently Discharged for Acute Heart Failure (CHANCE-HF). Study Design.

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2015 Aug;, PMID: 25623430

Morbidity and mortality after admission for acute heart failure remain prohibitively high. In that setting, plasma levels of antigen carbohydrate 125 have shown to correlate with the severity of fluid overload and the risk of mortality and readmission. Preliminary data suggests a potential role of antigen carbohydrate 125 to guide therapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prognostic effect of an antigen carbohydrate 125-guided management strategy vs standard therapy in patients recently discharged for acute heart failure.
