Key result
This review discusses the strategies and evidence behind the most recent ACC/AHA and HFSA guidelines for the inpatient management of acute decompensated heart failure.
Why the study?
ADHF is the leading cause of hospital admissions in patients older than 65 years and carries poor outcomes, requiring inpatient management strategies focused on haemodynamic stabilisation and symptom relief that differ drastically from chronic heart failure care.
This review summarizes the inpatient management strategies for acute decompensated heart failure based on recent ACC/AHA and HFSA guidelines.

Provides concise synthesis of latest ACC/AHA/HFSA inpatient ADHF guidelines; leaves open questions on real-world implementation and emerging therapies.
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is the leading cause of hospital admissions in patients older than 65 years. These hospitalisations are highly risky and are associated with poor outcomes, including rehospitalisation and death. The management of ADHF is drastically different from that of chronic heart failure as inpatient treatment consists primarily of haemodynamic stabilisation, symptom relief and prevention of short-term morbidity and mortality. In this review, we will discuss the strategies put forth in the most recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and Heart Failure Society of America guidelines for ADHF as well as the evidence behind these recommendations.
