Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Overview
Heart failure is a widespread health concern affecting approximately 64 million people around the world; mortality is seen at a rate of 50 to 75% within five years of diagnosis.1-2 Lifetime risk has also increased, up to 24%, suggesting nearly one in four people will develop heart failure over their lifetime.3 When a patient is decompensating, it is important for the heart team to identify this early and implement a strategy to stop hemodynamic instability and hypoperfusion.
