Acute heart failure may present de novo in people without known cardiac dysfunction, or as an acute decompensation of known chronic heart failure. Acute heart failure is a common cause of admission to hospital (more than 67 000 admissions in England and Wales each year) and is the leading cause of hospital admission in people aged 65 years or more in the United Kingdom.1 European registry data show that nearly 50% of people admitted to hospital with acute heart failure are re-admitted within 12… Expand

Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: A Pharmacotherapy Approach
TLDR
Clinical pearls for the optimal use of diuretic, vasodilator, and inotropic therapies, guided by an understanding of the Forrester hemodynamic subsets, are provided to improve fluid status and end-organ perfusion. Expand
Advanced Heart Failure Therapies and Cardiorenal Syndrome.
TLDR
This chapter discusses the assessment and management of patients with CRS with end-stage HF, and provides a summary of temporary circulatory support devices that can be considered for those whom hospice is not desired. Expand
Concerns about latest NICE guidelines on acute heart failure
TLDR
The guideline fails to define acute heart failure and to differentiate it from hospital admission for heart failure, and the two conditions are not synonymous. Expand
Echocardiography and lung ultrasonography for the assessment and management of acute heart failure
TLDR
This Consensus Statement, prepared by the Acute Heart Failure Study Group of the ESC Acute Cardiovascular Care Association, reviews the existing and potential roles of echocardiography and lung ultrasonography in the assessment and management of patients with acute heart failure, highlighting the differences from established practice where relevant. Expand
A contemporary review of peripartum cardiomyopathy
TLDR
The background, clinical presentation, diagnosis, outcome, prognosis and treatment available for women diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy are discussed. Expand
A real life evaluation of non invasive ventilation in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema: a multicenter, perspective, observational study for the ACPE SIMEU study group
TLDR
NIV seems to be the first choice for treatment of ARF due to ACPE, showing high clinical effectiveness and representing a rescue option for patients not improving with conventional oxygen therapy. Expand
Is oxygen therapy beneficial for normoxemic patients with acute heart failure? A propensity score matched study
TLDR
Routine use of supplemental oxygen in AHF patients without hypoxemia was not found to reduce all-cause in-hospital mortality or ICU mortality, and the absence of an effect of supplementary oxygen on mortality was consistent in all subgroups. Expand
Oxygen Therapy in Patients With Acute Heart Failure: Friend or Foe?
TLDR
Current evidence regarding the cardiovascular effects of supplemental oxygen therapy, particularly evidence from the field of acute heart failure, and delineate knowledge gaps in the field and future directions in research are summarized. Expand
The Biomarker Utility in Risk Stratification in an Ambulatory Heart Failure: ST2 or Galectin-3?
TLDR
The comment is indicated sST2 and galectin-3 are recommended as alternate biomarkers with defined predictive value in HF and in generally patient population at high risk of HF manifestation. Expand

TLDR
Most men but a minority of women who underwent investigation of cardiac function had evidence of moderate or severe left ventricular dysfunction, the main target of current advances in the treatment of heart failure. Expand
