It is not uncommon to see elderly patients with a few nonspecific complaints who, on examination and workup, have findings of advanced congestive heart failure. Because of the potential for misdiagnosis and misclassification of the underlying pathophysiology, most patients should undergo a noninvasive measurement of left-ventricular function, such as echocardiography or radionuclide angiography.
老年患者有一些非特异性主诉，经检查和评估后发现有晚期充血性心力衰竭的情况并不少见。由于潜在的误诊以及对潜在病理生理学的错误分类，大多数患者应接受左心室功能的无创测量，如超声心动图或放射性核素血管造影。
