Acetazolamide Per os for Decompensation of Heart Failure

decrease of decompensation

The main causes of chronic heart failure (CHF) are arterial hypertension and coronary artery
 disease, less often cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, metastatic myocardial lesions. It should be
 noted that up to 50% of patients have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),
 while its prevalence is progressively increasing annually.
 
 Acute decompensation of CHF is understood as a rapid increase in the severity of clinical
 manifestations (shortness of breath, severe arterial hypoxemia, the occurrence of arterial
 hypotension), which caused urgent medical treatment and emergency hospitalization in a
 patient already suffering from CHF. Decompensation of CHF requires intensification of
 treatment in order to stabilize the patient's condition. Strengthening diuretic therapy in
 addition to standard therapy helps to reduce edematous syndrome.
