Provides clinicians a 2017 Korean AHF reference; leaves open need for updates aligned with post-2017 evidence.
The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is rapidly increasing throughout the world, and is closely associated with serious morbidity and mortality. In particular, acute HF is one of the main causes of hospitalization and mortality, especially in elderly individuals. In Korea, the socioeconomic burden of HF is substantial. Because of this, the Korean HF society developed chronic and acute HF management guidelines in 2017, adapted process while including as much data from Korean studies as possible. The scope of the current review, which is based on the Korean HF guidelines, includes the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of acute HF with reduced or preserved ejection fractions of various etiologies.
