📊 監視すべき主要指標

これらの健康指標はheart failureの診断とモニタリングに不可欠です:

🔬 Diagnostic Criteria

Healthcare providers use these thresholds to diagnose and classify heart failure:

MetricThresholdClassification
BNP>100 pg/mLHeart Failure Likely
NT-proBNP>300 pg/mLHeart Failure Likely
Ejection Fraction<40%HFrEF
Ejection Fraction40-49%HFmrEF
Ejection Fraction≥50%HFpEF

Note: Diagnosis requires clinical evaluation. These criteria are for reference only.

⚠️ Risk Factors

Coronary artery disease
Hypertension
Diabetes
Previous heart attack
Valvular heart disease
Cardiomyopathy

🔴 Potential Complications

If left unmanaged, heart failure may lead to:

Kidney damage
Liver damage
Arrhythmias
Sudden cardiac death

2Manage diabetes
3Maintain healthy weight
4Exercise regularly
5Limit alcohol
6Don't smoke
