How is classification by EF ”more accurate” than left side/right side heart failure? The later better describes which side of the heart that is affected and is a clinical assessment (eg peripheral edema, hepatomegaly etc = right side failure while pulmonary edema such as dyspnea and orthopnea suggests left sided edema and a combination of left/right or biventricular failure). while classification by EF is an assessment with UCG done by a cardiologist or physiologist. Likewise chronic vs acute is an assessment that require patient history and clinical status. No classification is more ”accurate”. ~2025-36358-07 (talk) 20:37, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
