When to use
Use at the bedside to assign one of four hemodynamic profiles and choose targeted therapy, with general oxygen/ventilation and precipitant correction.
How it works
→ optimize oral drugs;→ cautious volume management.
Key points
- (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
- Noninvasive ventilation is used for acute pulmonary edema/respiratory distress, and morphine is not routine.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Peripheral perfusion | Well perfused (warm) |
|---|---|
| Congestion | Congested (wet: pulmonary crackles, edema, JVD) |
| Systolic BP (optional) | 100 mmHg |

- Targeted management：IV loop diuretic (furosemide) for decongestion; hypertensive pulmonary edema centers on aggressive vasodilation/BP reduction
- General：Semi-recumbent; continuous BP and ECG monitoring; morphine not routine
- Cause/precipitant：Rapidly identify and treat precipitants: acute coronary syndrome, tachy/bradyarrhythmias, infection, abrupt BP rise, non-adherence or drug discontinuation, worsening renal function, etc.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using Acute Heart Failure Profiling & Management?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does Acute Heart Failure Profiling & Management upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
