Abstract

Acute heart failure has been defined simply as “the rapid onset of symptoms and signs secondary to abnormal cardiac function” [1]. Acute heart failure can present de novo with no prior history of heart disease (although asymptomatic cardiac disease may well have been present), or on a background of decompensated chronic cardiac failure. Acute heart failure is, therefore, a syndrome with varying etiologies and ranging in severity from relatively mild dyspnea, through severe pulmonary edema with acute respiratory distress, to full-blown cardiogenic shock, where tissue perfusion is compromised. Whatever the etiology, the result is an inability of the heart to maintain cardiac output, and hence oxygen supply, sufficient to meet the needs of the peripheral tissues.
