Treatment of acute heart failure
Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a major and growing public health problem worldwide with ten million patients in Europe and
eight hundred thousand patients in Poland. AHF is defined as the rapid onset of, or change in, signs and symptoms of
heart failure (HF) requiring urgent therapy and hospitalization. It arises from a rapid appearance for the first time or as
a result of deterioration in patients with a previous diagnosis of HF. Fast diagnosis and treatment, initially focused on
symptom relief and causal treatment is crucial. This article is the summary of the new European Society of Cardiology
guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure and short overview of ongoing multicenter
studies are still lacking on the pharmacotherapy of AHF.
