Patients with all types of heart failure (HF) were included: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Patients included in this study were 18 years or older, had symptoms of WHF, had weight gain of more than 2 kg, and were not responding to uptitrating of oral diuretic therapy. Patients were treated for one or more days at the outpatient department with administration of intravenous loop diuretics with or without a bolus. In this study, 259 patients were included (mean age of 76 years, mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 41%). Rehospitalization rates for HF were 30.5% and 53.3%, respectively, at 30 days and 1 year. All-cause mortality was 5.8% and 26.3%, respectively, at 30 days and 1 year. Rehospitalization rates for HF and all-cause mortality were highest in patients with HFrEF. In a total of 322 individual outpatient treatments with intravenous diuretics, only one adverse event was registered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Outpatient treatment with intravenous diuretics of patients with WHF is a safe alternative strategy compared with the same treatment in hospitalized patients.
