Objective: To investigate the nutritional characteristics and risk of refeeding syndrome in acute heart failure patients at 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: 90 patients with acute cardiovascular disease at the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit - 108 Military Central Hospital from 6/2020 to 6/2021. Assessing some risk factors, outcomes, length of hospital stay, SGA, risk of refeeding syndrome. Result: Most patients had moderate (SGA-B) (51.1%) and severe (SGA-C) (28.9%) malnutrition. The risk of refeeding syndrome appeared in 13/45 patients with acute cardiovascular disease (accounting for 28.9%). The total hospitalization duration tended to be prolonged in patients with poor nutritional status or at risk of refeeding syndrome (p<0.05). Rerefeeding syndrome increased the risk of mortality in AHF patients (p<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with acute heart failure have a high rate of malnutrition. Poor nutritional status is associated with increased treatment duration and mortality.
