Implication

Offers synthesis of AHF pathways for clinicians; leaves open prospective trials to validate tailored strategies.

Key Points

The aim is to explore current understanding of diagnosis and management of acute heart failure to aid clinicians.
Review of current AHF classification criteria and therapeutic interventions.
Discussion of diagnostic signs, symptoms, and laboratory tests employed in AHF.
Evaluation of preventive strategies to address unmet clinical needs.
Peripheral and pulmonary congestion is prevalent in most AHF cases.
Therapeutic interventions primarily include IV diuretics and vasodilators, tailored to hemodynamic status.
Preventive strategies focus on reducing hospital admissions and improving patient outcomes.

Population

Patients with acute heart failure (AHF)

Intervention

Diagnostic and therapeutic pathways, including IV diuretics, vasodilators, inotropes/vasopressors, and mechanical circulatory support

This review outlines current diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for acute heart failure, emphasizing tailored treatment based on initial hemodynamic status.
