This 1-year single-centre registry demonstrates a reasonable prevalence of HU and HE contributing to the high volume of visits to the ED. Stress, increased salt intake and non-adherence were main triggers of HE and HU. Dizziness and headache were the prevalent symptoms of HU patients while heart failure was the most common underlying disease in patients with HE.
