Zusammenfassung:	To identify predictors of low cardiac output and mortality in decompensated heart failure. Introduction: Patients with decompensated heart failure have a high mortality rate, especially those patients with low cardiac output. However, this clinical presentation is uncommon, and its management is controversial. We studied a cohort of 452 patients hospitalized with decompensated heart failure with an ejection fraction of
