Understanding the symptoms of acute decompensated heart failure

Acute decompensated heart failure is actually a phenomenon of acute heart failure. Acute heart failure develops very rapidly and can cause a sharp decrease in cardiac output. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to these symptoms and reduce the threat to life.

1. Blood circulates repeatedly in blood vessels, continuously providing tissues and cells with oxygen and nutrients needed for metabolism and taking away various metabolic products in a timely manner, thus keeping the body's metabolism going. The power of blood circulation comes from the coordinated contraction and relaxation of the heart. This activity of the heart is like a water pump, so it is also called cardiac pump function.

2. When various pathogenic factors weaken the heart's pumping function, that is, when cardiac output is affected and decreased, it is called heart failure.

3. Heart failure includes compensatory and decompensatory stages. Heart failure belongs to the decompensatory stage of heart failure, that is, the decrease in myocardial contractility makes the cardiac output unable to meet the body's metabolic needs, the blood perfusion of organs and tissues is insufficient, and at the same time, pulmonary circulation and (or) systemic circulation congestion occurs. Such a syndrome.

4. Acute heart failure mainly refers to the rapid progression of the disease. The exact definition is that due to acute heart disease, the cardiac output drops sharply, leading to insufficient perfusion of tissues and organs and acute congestion syndrome.
