Acute heart failure

The prevalence of heart failure is increasing due to an ageing population and success in delaying coronary events through primary and secondary prevention. New-onset or acute chronic decompensation resulting in hospitalisation represents a significant and growing healthcare burden. Major precipitants of admission in the elderly include: dyspnoea, fluid retention, noncompliance with medication or indeed an ischaemic event.
