ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS GUIDED BY ELECTRICAL CARDIOMETRY

Abstract

Heart failure is defined as clinical syndrome, not a specific pathological diagnosis, and is characterized by primary symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the ankles. These may be accompanied by signs as elevated jugular venous pressure, fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary crackles), & peripheral edema. Acute heart failure (AHF) is characterized by the abrupt or gradual onset of symptoms and/or signs of heart failure that are severe enough to necessitate urgent medical intervention, often resulting in an unplanned hospital admission or visit to the emergency department.Electrical cardiometry is a non-invasive, continuous method for monitoring hemodynamics. It detects variations in the thoracic electrical impedance across different phases of the cardiac cycle to assess cardiac output (CO).AIM OF THE WORK: The aim of this study was to assess the role of electrical cardiometry in hemodynamic monitoring in patients diagnosed with acute heart failure to guide treatment.
