Scott PY - 2020 T2 - McGraw Hill’s NAPLEX® Review Guide, 4e AB - Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome resulting from abnormal cardiac structure or function impairing the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) characterizes patients with worsening HF signs or symptoms, often requiring hospitalization. Patients with persistent symptoms or refractory HF despite optimal oral therapies are classified as stage D by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association staging system. Additionally, ADHF patients have symptoms with minimal activity or at rest and thus are most commonly classified as New York Heart Association class III or IV.
