We aimed to investigate the associations between intravenous vasodilators and clinical outcomes in acute heart failure patients, with a specific focus on patient profiles and type of vasodilators.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Data of 26,212 consecutive patients urgently hospitalised for a primary diagnosis of acute heart failure between 2009 and 2015 were extracted from a government-funded multicentre data registration system. Propensity scores were calculated with multiple imputations and 1:1 matching performed between patients with and without vasodilator use.

However, there was a substantial difference in baseline systolic blood pressure by vasodilator type; favourable impacts of vasodilator use on inhospital mortality were observed among patients who had higher systolic blood pressures and those who had no atrial fibrillation on admission. Furthermore, when compared to nitrates, the use of carperitide (natriuretic peptide agent) was significantly associated with worse outcomes, especially in patients with intermediate systolic blood pressures.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In acute heart failure patients,
