Patients with worsening heart failure (WHF) are frequently hospitalized. However, some of the patients with WHF are discharged from the emergency department without hospitalization. The factors influencing the decision of admission are heterogeneous and, in most cases, remain not well-defined. This study aimed to analyze whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) influences admission decisions following a visit to the emergency department for WHF. ⋯ Following an acute heart failure admission, patients with LVEF≥50% showed an increased risk of same-day discharge for WHF.
