Dr. Arintaya Phrommintikul has informed the editor to correct the text, figure, and table’s data in the article “Heart Failure Council of Thailand (HFCT) 2019 Heart Failure Guideline: Acute Heart Failure” published in J Med Assoc Thai 2019, Vol.102, No.3, page 373-9 as follow:

1) from While the left-sided HF symptoms such as pulmonary congestion are common presentation in majority of AHF etiologies; the triad of hypotension, clear lung sounds and elevated jugular vein suggest acute pulmonary embolism.

to While majority of patients are commonly presented with left-sided HF symptoms such as pulmonary congestion presentation, the triad of hypotension, clear lung sounds and elevated jugular venous pressure are symptoms of right-sided HF which may be due to specific causes such as acute pulmonary embolism or right ventricular myocardial infarction.

3) from In patients with insufficient diuretic response...
Increase the dose of loop diuretics.
Re-evaluate patient clinical status for tissue perfusion and volume status.
Low sodium diet (sodium<2 grams/day) is recommended in patients with recurrent or refractory volume overload despite appropriate diuretic therapy.
Tolvaptan (V2-receptor antagonist) should be considered in patients with congestion and/or hyponatremia.
It should be given for a short duration.
Switch from intermittent bolus to continuous infusion of loop diuretics.
Combination of loop diuretic with either thiazide-type diuretic or spironolactone should be considered in patients with insufficient diuretic response.
Ultrafiltration may be considered in patients with refractory congestion who fail to respond to a diureticbased strategy.
