Abstract

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a highly prevalent clinical entity in individuals older than 45years in Spain. AHF is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and is the leading cause of hospitalisation for individuals older than 65years in Spain, a quarter of whom die within 1year of the hospitalisation. In recent years, there has been an upwards trend in hospitalisations for AHF, which increased 76.7% from 2003 to 2013. Readmissions at 30days for AHF have also increased (from 17.6% to 22.1%), at a relative mean rate of 1.36% per year, with the consequent increase in the use of resources and the economic burden for the healthcare system. The aim of this document (developed by the Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation Group of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine) is to guide specialists on the most important aspects of treatment and follow-up for patients with AHF during hospitalisation and the subsequent follow-up. The main recommendations listed in this document are as follows: (1)At admission, perform a comprehensive assessment, considering the patient's standard treatment and comorbidities, given that these determine the disease prognosis to a considerable measure. (2)During the first few hours of hospital care...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
