A member asked:
Can acute heart failure turn into chronic heart failure, or are they completely different disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart failure: Acute heart failure is usually an exacerbation of chronic heart failure. That said there's pretty much always a first presentation of heart failure and that can be acute. They are part of a continuum in general.
