Heart Failure (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure)

An overview of the etiologies, classification (wet vs. dry / warm vs. cold), and treatment of acute decompensated heart failure. (I'm sorry, but this is the one video of the Intern Crash Course series that's going to be over 10 minutes - heart failure is just too large a topic to shorten that much!)

Dear Eric,


I was recently criticised by a cardiologist for following NT-proBNP values as a prognostic marker. He cited this was not useful and very expensive. Could you reference the literature you're referring to?


Kind regard and thanks for another brilliant instructional video.
