What is Acute Heart Failure?

Heart failure, or congestive heart failure, is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's oxygen needs. Acute heart failure happens when new or worsening symptoms of heart failure suddenly develop. Causes include genetics or lifestyle factors like smoking, obesity, and so on.

Typical Symptoms of Acute Heart Failure

Diagnostic Questions for Acute Heart Failure

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Is your breathing noisy, like wheezing or rattling?
  • Do you have trouble breathing when lying down that gets better when you sit up?
  • Do you have pain on the left side of your chest?
  • Do you feel tightness in your chest when you exercise?
  • Do you feel pressure over your chest?

Treatment of Acute Heart Failure

Treatment involves supporting breathing, controlling blood pressure, and removing excess fluid from the body if necessary. There is no cure, but long-term treatment with medications and rehabilitation can improve heart function.
