In ACC/AHA Staging for HF, what does Stage C represent?

  1. At risk for developing HF

  2. Pre-HF, without symptoms/signs

  3. Current or prior symptoms of HF with structural/functional cardiac abnormality

  4. Advanced HF with severe symptoms

The correct answer is: Current or prior symptoms of HF with structural/functional cardiac abnormality

In the ACC/AHA Staging for Heart Failure (HF), Stage C represents patients who have current or prior symptoms of heart failure along with structural or functional cardiac abnormalities. This stage indicates that the patient has developed heart failure symptoms and there is evidence of underlying cardiac dysfunction, which puts them at a higher risk for future complications and may require more aggressive management strategies. It is important to identify and appropriately manage patients in Stage C to prevent progression of heart failure and improve outcomes.
