Also called: Heart failure

## In plain language

A sudden worsening of heart failure. In SPRINT it is one of the five kinds of event that made up the primary combined outcome.

## Technical summary

One of the five components of cardio:outcome-sprint-primary-composite, worded as the paper's Methods words it. The paper's main text gives no definition and points to its Supplementary Appendix, which this atlas has not read. Table 2 of the paper and the registry's primary outcome measure use the shorter wording heart failure, which is kept as an alias.
