The number of hospitalizations for acute heart failure (HF) continues to increase and it remains the most common discharge diagnosis among Medicare beneficiaries. Prognosis after hospitalization for HF is poor, with high in-hospital mortality and even higher post-discharge mortality and rehospitalization rates. It is a complex clinical syndrome that varies widely with respect to clinical presentation and underlying pathophysiology. This paper reviews what is documented in the literature regarding the known pathophysiologic mechanisms reported in patients hospitalized for HF.
急性心力衰竭（HF）的住院人数持续增加，并且它仍然是医疗保险受益人中最常见的出院诊断。HF住院后的预后很差，住院死亡率高，出院后死亡率和再住院率甚至更高。它是一种复杂的临床综合征，临床表现和潜在病理生理学差异很大。本文回顾了文献中关于HF住院患者已知病理生理机制的记载。
