Name[edit]

Is there a difference between "Acute decompensated heart failure" and "acute heart failure"? Is there a source for this name (e.g. ICD-10, MeSH, ...) ? Otherwise I suggest a move. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:28, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Overlap[edit]

I'd say we need to avoid overlap between this article and heart failure and pulmonary edema, both of which discuss the diagnosis and treatment in a fair amount of detail.

AHF is not a cause of ARDS[edit]

According to the Berlin criteria, ARDS is present if the hypoxemic respiratory failure is not explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload, which means both can be present at the same time, but AHD cannot cause ARDS per se by definition. That being the case, I suggest deleting the second sentence. (In reverse, AHF can be the result of ARDS but ARDS is by far not the most common cause of heart failure) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.139.249.107 (talk) 13:53, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
