Forrester classification

Forrester classification
a classification system for patients with suspected or overt heart failure, done after cardiac catheterization of the right heart and determination of cardiac index and pulmonary artery wedge pressure. Patients are divided into four classes according to severity (lower cardiac index and higher wedge pressure being severe). Those in class I were found to have no pulmonary congestion or peripheral vessel hypoperfusion, whereas those in class IV have both of these complications.
