The analysis of 75 cases of refusal to hospitalize patients with acute decompensated heart failure was carried out. The overwhelming majority turned out to be elderly women with a high incidence of cognitive impairment. Among the reasons for refusal, 47% indicated an improvement in their condition after receiving assistance from an ambulance team. Such a decision is often based on an apathetic type of attitude towards the disease. At least one in four patients who refuse hospitalization is re-hospitalized or dies within the next 30 days.
