This chapter provides a conceptual framework for anesthesia for cardiac surgery, and discusses selected practical issues concerning anesthesia for patients with acute heart failure syndromes (AHFSs). We first develop the conceptual framework by selectively presenting recent knowledge (including definitions and pathophysiology) relevant for anesthesia and postanesthesia care of patients with AHFS. We then discuss diagnosis, treatment decisions, and procedures. Finally, a case report is presented. © 2008 Springer-Verlag London.
