Heart failure is currently one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Patients with heart failure often present with acute symptoms and may have a poor prognosis. Recent evidence shows differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between de novo heart failure (DNHF) and acute decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF). Based on a better understanding of the distinct pathophysiology of these two conditions, new strategies may be considered to treat heart failure patients and improve outcomes. In this review, the authors elaborate distinctions regarding the clinical characteristics and outcomes of DNHF and ADCHF and their respective pathophysiology. Future clinical trials of therapies should address the potentially different phenotypes between DNHF and ADCHF if meaningful discoveries are to be made.

Introduction 4 Chronic heart failure with reduced LVEF (systolic heart failure) 6 Pharmacological management of chronic heart failure 8 Non-pharmacological management of chronic heart failure 18 Chronic heart failure with preserved LVEF (diastolic heart failure) 20 Acute heart failure 22 Clinical trials 26 Heart failure (HF) is a complex condition that results from cardiac functional and/or structural abnormalities that affect the ability of the heart to pump blood, and is often defined as the inability of the heart to adequately perfuse the organs of the body. Symptoms of HF vary depending on several factors but the most common manifestations of HF are dyspnoea and fatigue. Of importance, HF is not necessarily associated with a reduced ejection fraction (EF) (systolic HF), as up to 50% of cases occur in the presence of a preserved systolic function (diastolic dysfunction)....
