Objective To analyze the clinical effect of emergency medical treatment for elderly patients with severe heart failure. Methods 72 elderly patients with severe heart failure were selected from the clinical treatment statistics of our hospital from 2021.06 to 2022.06, and were divided into two groups according to different treatment schemes, namely, the conventional group and the experimental group, with 36 patients in each group. Routine treatment was given to the conventional group, while emergency medical treatment was added to the experimental group. The clinical treatment effect, cardiac function index, B-type brain peptide index (BNP), 6-minute walking distance and pulse output of the two groups were compared before and after treatment. Results Before treatment, there was no difference in cardiac function index and BNP between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, compared with the conventional group, the clinical treatment effect, 6-minute walking distance and pulse output of the experimental group were higher (P<0.05). Compared with the conventional group, the experimental group had lower BNP and better cardiac function indicators (P<0.05). Conclusion Emergency medical treatment can effectively stabilize the condition and improve the symptoms of elderly patients with severe heart failure.
