Criteria for Advanced Heart Failure Characterization

The HelpHF registry proposed four criteria to define advanced heart failure: severe and persistent symptoms, severe cardiac dysfunction, episodes of congestion or low output syndrome causing hospitalizations, and severe impairment of exercise capacity. The importance of general cardiologists being familiar with these criteria for daily practice was emphasized as a valuable tool to identify patients at high risk who may benefit from specialist care.
