Acute decompensated heart failure

Acute decompensated heart failure is a clinical syndrome involving the sudden onset or rapid worsening of signs and symptoms of cardiac dysfunction, typically occurring in patients with pre-existing chronic heart failure or emerging as a de novo presentation Defining clinical features include severe dyspnea, orthopnea, pulmonary edema, peripheral edema, and elevated jugular venous pressure, frequently requiring urgent medical intervention or hospitalization
