When the pumping function of the heart is impaired, accompanied by an ejection fraction EF less than 40%, it is called systolic heart failure. Heart failure examination and treatment of systolic heart failure require strict adherence to the doctor's instructions to limit dangerous complications.

Acute heart failure is the sudden onset of signs and symptoms of heart failure that requires urgent intervention. Besides the causes of acute heart failure, other predisposing factors may play a role in making the condition worse.

Treatment of heart failure is divided into 4 levels according to each stage A, B, C and D. There are 2 main treatment options: medication and non-drug treatment. The goals of heart failure treatment are to reduce symptoms, limit hospitalization, and prolong survival.

Acute heart failure is a rapid onset or worsening of the symptoms and signs of pre-existing heart failure, which can be life-threatening. Patients should be diagnosed with acute heart failure as soon as they are admitted to the hospital and treated immediately.

Decompensated heart failure is the end result of cardiovascular disease or when there is a cause other than cardiovascular such as kidney failure, blood loss, a heart-damaging viral infection that affects the heart and causes this condition.

The mechanism of diastolic heart failure is when the ventricles are not able to receive blood, accompanied by preserved EF ejection fraction. The cause of diastolic heart failure is either dysfunction of the heart or physical damage.

Hi doctor. Ask the doctor what is heart failure? I hope my doctor can help me. Sincerely thank.

Heart failure is a consequence of many cardiovascular diseases and is a major cause of death in patients with heart disease. Effective detection and treatment improves symptoms as well as survival prognosis for patients.

In the treatment of stage 3 heart failure, besides medication and lifestyle adjustments, doctors will consider the direction of using assistive devices. One of them is an implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).

Echocardiography is a technique that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to obtain images of the heart and related structures. From these images, doctors can measure the size and function of the heart's chambers, study the movement of the heart's valves, and evaluate blood through the valves and within the heart chambers.

Ultrasound assessment of diastolic function is an integral part of the routine evaluation of patients with symptoms of heart failure or dyspnea. The Echocardiographic Society generally recommends a comprehensive evaluation of diastolic function, including multiple Doppler-based parameters and two-dimensional echocardiography to grade diastolic dysfunction.
