Abstract

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a syndrome defined as the new onset (de novo heart failure (HF)) or worsening (acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF)) of symptoms and signs of HF, mostly related to systemic congestion. Heart failure typically affects the elderly population, and as life expectancies rise and chronic medical diseases are better managed, more people are projected to develop the ailment. Recent classifications of heart failure include heart failure with diminished and preserved ejection fraction. Heart failure has been treated with a variety of medical and device-based therapies throughout the past few decades. Both in terms of morbidity and mortality, these treatments have improved patient outcomes.
