Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a longitudinal prospective cohort study of individuals hospitalised with decompensated heart failure. Unselected consecutive patients admitted to a tertiary hospital with the primary diagnosis of heart failure will be followed for 12 months. Renal function (measured glomerular filtration rate) and renal blood flow will be measured at selected timepoints during admission and at 6 months, concurrent with detailed measurements of cardiac status (echocardiogram and neurohormonal profile).
