title: [Therapeutic strategy of the management of acute heart failure].
abstract: Acute cardiac failure should be approached clinically and paraclinically as an emergency and precipitation is not always what is required. Consequently, strict clinical and paraclinical strategy leads to decisive action to improve the prognosis. The authors describe the principles of management of acute cardiac failure. The different stages which are carried out simultaneously in clinical practice are discussed: physiopathological basis, clinical and paraclinical investigations, symptomatic and aetiological treatment. The description and indications of circulatory assistance are considered. This constitutes a major therapeutic advance of the last decade and has changed the treatment of the most severe clinical forms of acute cardiac failure.
