NYHA Classes of heart failure

Heart failure is a progressive condition, which means the heart gets weaker over time. It’s often called a “silent progression” because you may not notice the signs of worsening disease. The classes of heart failure are:

Class I

Class 1

No symptoms or limitations to physical activity.

Class II

Class 2

Slight limitations of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in feeling tired and having shortness of breath.

Class III

Class 3

Significant limitations such as shortness of breath and exhaustion from walking in even mild physical activity. Comfortable only at rest.

Class IV

Class 4

Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Tired and short of breath even at rest.

Talk to a Heart Failure Specialist

There’s a way for your healthcare provider to identify the silent symptoms of advancing heart failure and take steps to manage it before it gets worse. As a result, you can live your best life and reduce your chances of being hospitalized for heart failure.

When you visit a heart failure clinic, you will be evaluated, and your care team will help determine your treatment path.
