In this position statement, the Heart Failure Association aims to systematize the use of various imaging methods in accordance with the timeline of acute heart failure care proposed in the recent guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology. During the first hours of admission the point-of-care focused cardiac and lung ultrasound examination is an invaluable tool for rapid differential diagnosis of acute dyspnoea, which is highly feasible and relatively easy to learn. Several portable and stationary imaging modalities are being increasingly used for the evaluation of cardiac structure and function, haemodynamic and volume status, precipitating myocardial ischaemia or valvular abnormalities, and systemic and pulmonary congestion. This paper emphasizes the central role of the full echocardiographic examination in the identification of heart failure aetiology, severity of cardiac dysfunction, indications for specific heart failure therapy, and risk stratification. Correct evaluation of cardiac filling pressures and accurate prognostication may help to prevent unscheduled short-term readmission. Alternative advanced imaging modalities should be considered to assist patient management in the pre- and post-discharge phase, including cardiac magnetic resonance, computed tomography, nuclear studies, and coronary angiography. The Heart Failure Association addresses this paper to the wide spectrum of acute care and heart failure specialists, highlighting the value of all available imaging techniques at specific stages and in common clinical scenarios of acute heart failure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejhf.1678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]],"date-time":"2019-12-09T08:29:10Z","timestamp":1575880150000},"page":"181-195","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Imaging in Patients with Suspected Acute Heart Failure: Timeline Approach Position Statement on Behalf of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jelena","family":"\u010celutkien\u0117","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University , Vilnius ,","place":["Lithuania"]},{"name":"State Research Institute Centre For Innovative Medicine , Vilnius ,","place":["Lithuania"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mitja","family":"Lainscak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology and Department of Research and Education, General Hospital Celje , Celje ,","place":["Slovenia"]},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana , Ljubljana ,","place":["Slovenia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Royal Brompton Hospital, Imperial College London , London ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Etienne","family":"Gayat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Burn and Critical Care Medicine, AP-HP, Saint Louis and Lariboisi\u00e8re University Hospitals , Paris ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Grapsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barts Heart Center, St Bartholomew\u2019s Hospital , London ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veli-Pekka","family":"Harjola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Medicine, Helsinki University , Helsinki ,","place":["Finland"]},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine and Services, Helsinki University Hospital , Helsinki ,","place":["Finland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Manka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Zurich , Zurich ,","place":["Switzerland"]},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Heart Center Zurich , Zurich ,","place":["Switzerland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Petros","family":"Nihoyannopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases\/Heart Center of the Young and Athletes, First Department of Cardiology, Hippokration General Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece;
