摘要
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a major public health issue and remains a heterogeneous, complex, and difficult condition to manage. Although novel acute therapies are being tested in large randomized clinical trials, opportunities exist to improve the standard of care by ensuring optimal adherence to currently established evidence-based interventions for HF. Consideration of the goals of therapy and practical application of current methods to assess for clinical improvement may lead to improved patient management and possibly improved outcomes for patients with ADHF. This review provides key practical information regarding the current standard of care for patients with ADHF including the goals of therapy, management of acute and chronic medications, and discharge/transition of care planning.
