心力衰竭（HF）已成为一个主要的公共卫生问题，是西方国家老年人发病率和死亡率的最重要原因之一。急性HF综合征（AHFS）包括许多重要的病因和合并症。根据其临床表现和病理生理学，AHFS有几种不同的临床定义和分类。这些定义和分类最多只能用于个性化诊断和治疗。这些定义和分类的另一个重要应用是帮助指导未来的AHFS临床试验。在北美和欧洲的大型和小型登记和调查中，已经对AHFS的流行病学进行了研究。根据这些数据，急性HF患者人群的属性进行了讨论。(c)2005年爱思唯尔公司
Heart failure (HF) has emerged as a major public health issue and is among the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality for older adults in Western countries. Acute HF syndromes (AHFS) encompass many important etiologies and comorbidities. There are several different clinical definitions and classifications of AHFS that are based on their clinical picture and pathophysiology. These definitions and classifications should, at best, serve to individually tailor diagnostics and therapy. Another important application of these definitions and classifications is to help guide future clinical trials in AHFS. The epidemiology of AHFS has been studied in large and small registries and surveys in both North America and Europe. The properties of the population of patients with acute HF are discussed in light of these data. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
