The Framingham Heart Failure Criteria tool provides a structured method for healthcare professionals to assess the likelihood of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). It systematically evaluates a patient's clinical presentation against established major and minor diagnostic criteria, as defined by the Framingham Study. By quantifying the presence of these symptoms, the tool facilitates evidence-based risk stratification and supports clinical decision-making. This objective approach aids clinicians in early identification, guiding further diagnostic investigations and management strategies, thereby enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of heart failure assessment.
Diagnosis requires 2 major OR 1 major + 2 minor criteria.
