Content Inside:
Heart failure has been compared to the mythical multiheaded beast Hydra because of its many causes and varied clinical presentation. 1 Heart failure is defined as the inability of the heart either to pump a sufficient amount of blood to the metabolizing tissues or to do so without an increased filling pressure (Table 1). The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2 and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research 3 issued clinical guidelines in 1995 and 1994, respectively, for the management of heart failure, especially systolic dysfunction. In 1999, a supplement to the current guidelines was published. 4 These guidelines recommend early and routine use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in all patients with heart failure.
