Abstract

This systematic review addresses current perspectives in the management of acute heart failure (AHF), a clinical condition with significant morbidity and mortality. The analysis includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, highlighting the role of diuretics, positive inotropic agents, and ultrafiltration. The review examines studies discussing the efficacy and safety of these interventions, as well as identifying knowledge gaps and areas of controversy. The results underscore the importance of ongoing research to optimize the management of acute heart failure and improve clinical outcomes for patients.
