Abstract: Introduction: Heart failure is a potentially fatal entity. Possible predictors of mortality from heart failure have been explored to improve prognosis. Objective: Identify the prognostic factors of mortality due to acute heart failure Method: A case-control study nested in a cohort of patients with acute heart failure admitted to the emergency room of the “Saturnino Lora” Provincial Clinical-Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from September 2020 to September 2021. The condition of the heart was established as a dependent variable patient and as independent the hypothetical clinical, hematological and echocardiographic prognostic factors. The relative risk (RR), the confidence interval (CI) and the chi-square test were determined to identify the prognostic factors that were associated with mortality. Results: Galloping through S3 or S4 [RR 5.636; (1.835-17.309); p=0.001], New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV [RR 31.429; (6.537-151.108);p
