AB  - Acute  heart  failure  covers  a  wide  spectrum  of  illness  severity,  ranging  from  a  gradual  increase  in  leg  swelling,  shortness  of  breath,  or  decreased  exercise  tolerance  to  the  abrupt  onset  of  pulmonary  edema.  While  the  alternative  terms  decompensated  heart  failure,  acute  heart  failure  syndrome,  or  hospitalized  with  heart  failure  are  often  used  in  an  overlapping  manner,  we  refer  to  patients  with  either  an  acute  exacerbation  of  chronic  heart  failure  or  a  new-onset  heart  failure  as  having  acute  heart  failure.  The  outdated  term  congestive  heart  failure  describes  patients  with  signs  and  symptoms  of  fluid  accumulation.
