acute heart failure

A rapid decline in heart function that requires emergency medical care, including immediate hospitalisation and IV drugs to decreased vascular resistance, stabilising the heart, improving circulation, strengthening the heart pump and restoring normal breathing.

AHF is the clinical end-stage of 2 different situations:
(1) heart failure in a previously asymptomatic patient hospitalised for severe, life-threatening pulmonary oedema and/or cardiogenic shock due to a sudden injury/event (e.g., acute MI); or
(2) more commonly (up to 90%), so-called acute heart failure occurs in patients experiencing an acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, which may or may not have been previously diagnosed.

Cardiology A rapid, high-risk decline in heart function that requires emergency medical care, including immediate hospitalization and IV drugs to decrease vascular resistance, stabilize the heart, improve circulation, strengthen the heart pump and restore normal breathing. AHF is the clinical end-stage of 2 different situations: (1) heart failure in a previously asymptomatic patient hospitalised for severe, life-threatening pulmonary oedema and/or cardiogenic shock due to a sudden injury/event—e.g., acute MI; (2) more commonly—up to 90% of so-called AHFs occur in patients experiencing an acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, which may or may not have been previously diagnosed.
