Acute heart failure requires urgent evaluation and management according to three steps:
1. Initial management focuses on treating life-threatening conditions like acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, or pulmonary embolism.
2. Diagnosis involves ruling in or ruling out acute heart failure based on symptoms of congestion and hypoperfusion.
3. Management is then based on symptoms, providing diuretics and vasodilators for congestion or inotropes for hypoperfusion, with a goal of achieving a "warm dry" state for discharge. Early initiation of evidence-based oral therapies and close follow-up after discharge are also emphasized.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• Loop diuretics are recommended for all patients with congestion to
improve symptoms.
• Combination with either oral thiazide diuretic or spironolactone may
be considered in the presence of resistant edema or insufficient
symptom response
• Initial dose is 20-40 mg
• May be given as intermittent boluses or continuous infusion
• Regularly monitor renal function and electrolytes
• Ultrafiltration should be considered in patients with refractory
volume overload and acute kidney injury and may be considered in
patients with refractory congestion who fail to respond to diuretic-
based therapy

56. Criteria for Discharge
• Clinical response to initial treatment is an important indicator of likely
disposition
• Indicators of good response to initial therapy that might be considered in
discharge include :
• 1. Patient-reported subjective improvement
• 2. Resting HR < 100 bpm
• 3. No hypotension when standing up
• 4. Adequate urine output
• 5. Oxygen saturation > 95% in room air
• 6. No or moderate worsening of renal function (chronic renal disease might
be present)
Mebazaa A, et al. European Heart J (2015) 17, 544-588.
57. Criteria for Discharge
• Haemodynamically stable, euvolemic, established on evidence-based
oral medication and with stable renal function for at least 24 h before
discharge
• Once provided with tailored education and advice about self-care
• Patients should be:
• enrolled in a disease management program
• seen by their general practitioner within 1 week of discharge, by the
hospital cardiology team within 2 weeks of discharge
58. Summary
• AHF is a life-threatening medical condition requiring
evaluation and treatment
• Classification based on patients clinical profile
• Urgent evaluation and early diagnosis is important for
guiding the appropriate management
• Perform all ‘Steps’ simultaneously and urgently
Editor's Notes
ACC/AHA 2013 = HF is a complex clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood. The cardinal manifestations of HF are dyspnea and fatigue, which may limit exercise tolerance, and fluid retention, which may lead to pulmonary and/or splanchnic congestion and/or peripheral edema. Some patients have exercise intolerance but little evidence of fluid retention, whereas others complain primarily of edema, dyspnea, or fatigue. Because some patients present without signs or symptoms of volume overload, the term “heart failure” is preferred over “congestive heart failure.
ESC 2016 = HF is a clinical syndrome characterized by typical symptoms (e.g. breathlessness, ankle swelling and fatigue) that may be accompanied by signs (e.g. elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary crackles and peripheral oedema) caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality, resulting in a reduced cardiac output and/or elevated intracardiac pressures at rest or during stress.
WHO = Impaired physical exercise as a result of proven impairment of cardiac function
From The haemodynamic/metabolic stand point = pathophysiological state where impaired cardiac function is responsible for the inability of the heart to pump the quantity of blood that matches the requirements of metabolising tissue and/or can only meet these requirements through an abnormal increase in filling pressure
From the neurohumoral standpoint = HF is a state of neurohumoral imbalance where the harmful neurohormones (angiotensin II, catecholamines) predominate over favourable neurohormones (ANP, BNP)
Recent data show that, much like acute coronary syndrome, AHF might have a “time to therapy” concept. Accordingly, “prehospital” management is considered a critical
component of care.
Neprilysin metabolizes Ang I and Ang II via several pathways1,2
Inhibition of neprilysin alone is insufficient as it associated with an increase in Ang II levels, counteracting the potential benefits of neprilysin inhibition2
Neprilysin inhibition must be accompanied by simultaneous RAAS blockade (e.g. AT1 receptor blockade)2

Acute HF : - Rapid onset of or change in the sign and symptoms of heart failure
- Arises as a result of deterioration in patients previously diagnosed with HF or may also be the first presentation of HF (De Novo)
- Cardiac dysfunction may be related to ischemia, arrhythmia, valvular abnormalities, pericardial disease, increased filling pressure or elevated systemic resistance
- Characterized by pulmonary congestion, decreased cardiac output & tissue hypoperfusion; most Acute HF patients present with normal or high BP & sign &/or symptoms of congestion instead of low cardiac output
- Life-treathening condition that needs immediate medical attention
- May be transient & reversible with resolution of the acute syndrome or may induce permanent damage leading to chronic HF
Recent data show that, much like acute coronary syndrome, AHF might have a “time to therapy” concept. Accordingly, “prehospital” management is considered a critical
component of care.
