title: [Risk stratification in congestive heart failure].
abstract: Congestive heart failure remains a severe condition. Risk stratification is necessary to assess the prognosis and discuss the potential timing of heart transplant. Numerous criteria have been used, which may be combined to define prognostic scores which, however, are rarely used in routine. A few items, however, may be used to stratify the risk of mortality and sudden death.
