Acute heart failure refers to the rapid onset or worsening of heart failure symptoms. It can be de novo or acute on chronic heart failure, and is usually caused by either a primary cardiac issue or an extrinsic precipitating factor. Diagnosis involves assessing for hypoperfusion or congestion through clinical examination, as well as diagnostic tests like chest x-rays, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and blood tests. Patients are triaged to the ICU or ward based on their risk level and whether they have respiratory failure.
