Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:This review will provide an overview of recent advances in the management of acute decompensated heart failure, focusing on major publications from the past few years. RECENT FINDINGS:There have been several publications investigating different strategies in the management of acute decompensated heart failure. Trials have investigated the role of ultrafiltration, diuretic infusions and recombinant B-type natriuretic peptide for the treatment of these patients. SUMMARY:In patients with acute decompensated heart failure, the use of ultrafiltration in place of diuretics, diuretic infusions, and B-type natriuretic peptide has not shown benefit in recent trials. Unfortunately, there have been no major advances in the management of patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
