AHF was centrally adjudicated by two independent cardiologists based on current guidelines. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) concentrations were measured at ED presentation. Cancer status, resource use, and long-term outcomes were prospectively assessed. Among 2153 patients, 473 (22.0%) had an active or past cancer. AHF was the most common final diagnosis in both cancer and non-cancer patients (44.4% vs. 51.0%, p\u2009=\u20090.01). Among the alternative diagnoses, pneumonia and cancer-related dyspnoea were more frequent in patients with cancer, while anxiety disorder\/hyperventilation was frequent in patients without cancer. Hospitalization rate and length of hospital stay were both higher in cancer patients (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01). Among AHF-related signs, rales and pleural effusion showed a significant interaction with cancer status and had lower diagnostic accuracy in cancer patients. The area under the curve (AUC) of NT-proBNP was lower in cancer than in non-cancer patients (0.89 vs. 0.93, p\u2009=\u20090.01), while that of BNP was similar (0.93 vs. 0.95, p\u2009=\u2009ns). This difference was mainly due to active cancers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acute heart failure was the most common diagnosis in cancer patients presenting with acute dyspnoea.
