Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of chronic heart failure, requiring urgent medical intervention.

Key Highlights:

• Triggers: Infections, arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, and medication non-adherence.
• Clinical features: Dyspnea, edema, fatigue, and pulmonary congestion.
• Management: Rapid diuresis, vasodilators, inotropes, and supportive care.
• Monitoring: Continuous hemodynamic and renal function assessment is crucial.
• Prevention: Patient education and early recognition of symptoms reduce recurrence.

Prompt recognition and management of ADHF are essential to prevent complications and improve survival rates.
