Purpose of reviewThis review will provide an overview of recent advances in the management of acute decompensated heart failure, focusing on major publications from the past few years.Recent findingsThere have been several publications investigating different strategies in the management of acute decompensated heart failure. Trials have investigated the role of ultrafiltration, diuretic infusions and recombinant B-type natriuretic peptide for the treatment of these patients.SummaryIn patients with acute decompensated heart failure, the use of ultrafiltration in place of diuretics, diuretic infusions, and B-type natriuretic peptide has not shown benefit in recent trials. Unfortunately, there have been no major advances in the management of patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
