OBJECTIVES We sought to compare the in-hospital mortality of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) who were receiving parenteral treatment with one of four intravenous vasoactive medications.BACKGROUND There are limited data regarding the effects of the choice of intravenous vasoactive medication on in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized with ADHF.METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of observational patient data from the Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE), a multicenter registry designed to prospectively collect data on each episode of hospitalization for ADHF and its clinical outcomes. Data from the first 65,180 patient episodes (October 2001 to July 2003) were included in this analysis. Cases in which patients received nitroglycerin, nesiritide, milrinone, or dobutamine were identified and reviewed (n = 15,230). Risk factor and propensity score-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for in-hospital mortality were calculated.RESULTS Patients who received intravenous nitroglycerin or nesiritide had lower in-hospital mortality than those treated with dobutamine or milrinone. The risk factor and propensity score-adjusted ORs for nitroglycerin were 0.69 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.53 to 0.89, p
