Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) may precipitate up to a third of acute heart failure (AHF) cases. We assessed the characteristics, initial management, and survival of AHF patients with (ACS-AHF) and without (nACS-AIIF) concomitant ACS. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods and Results: Data from 620 AHF patients were analyzed in a prospective multicenter study. The ACS-AHF patients (32%) more often presented with de novo AHF (61% vs 43%; P %26lt;.001). Although no differences existed between the 2 groups in mean blood pressure, heart rate, or routine biochemistry on admission, cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema were more common manifestations in ACS-AliF (P %26lt;.01 for both). Use of intravenous nitrates, furosemide, opioids, inotropes, and vasopressors, as well as noninvasive ventilation and invasive coronary procedures (angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft surgery), were more frequent in ACS-AHF (P %26lt; .001 for all). Although 30-day mortality was significantly higher for ACS-AHF (13% vs 8%; P = .03), survival in the 2 groups at 5 years was similar. Overall, ACS was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.79; P = .03). %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: Whereas medical history and the manifestation and initial treatment of AFIF between ACSAIM and nACS-AHF patients differ, long-term survival is similar. ACS is, however, independently associated with increased short-term mortality.
