Goal-directed Afterload Reduction in Acute Congestive Cardiac Decompensation Study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an early goal-directed decrement of preload and afterload with a target systolic blood pressure of 90-110 mmHg by aggressive vasodilatation in patients with acute HF in the non-ICU setting is safe, and leads to a better clinical and economical outcome
