Stages of Heart Failure
Give this one a try later!
, When diagnosing heart failure and determining the patient's treatment plan,
the NP must consider the stage and classification of heart failure using the
American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association's (ACC/AHA)
current clinical practice guideline on the management of heart failure.
Diagnosis and treatment of heart failure always requires identification of its
stage and classification. They are identified below:
Stages of Heart Failure
Stage A: Patients at risk for heart failure who have not yet developed
structural heart changes (i.e. those with diabetes, those with coronary
disease without prior infarct).
Stage B: Are patients with structural heart disease (i.e. reduced ejection
fraction, left ventricular hypertrophy, chamber enlargement) who have not
yet developed symptoms of heart failure.
Stage C: Patients who have developed clinical heart failure.
Stage D: Patients with refractory heart failure that require advanced
intervention (for example, the need for a biventricular pacemaker, left
ventricular assist device, or heart transplant).
Right ventricular failure secondary to pulmonary hypertension.
