More frequent vital sign evaluation does not result in a statistically significant difference in survival or the number of transfers to the intensive care unit (for progression of disease) after adjusting for age, gender, duration of intravenous antibiotics and comorbid conditions.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical condition with symptoms that result from ineffective ejection of blood due to functional or structural impairment of the heart. The most common causes of HF include ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension, and valvular heart disease (VHD). As HF progresses to advanced stages, interventions, like left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), become essential, especially for patients ineligible for heart transplantation.
