Killip rating

Grade I: no pulmonary rales and S3;

Grade II: pulmonary rales, pulmonary rales < 1/2 lung wild;

Grade III: rales in the lungs, and the range of rales is >1/2 lung field;

Grade IV: cardiogenic shock.

The NYHA grade is suitable for cardiac function in patients with chronic isolated left heart failure and systolic heart failure.

NYHA grading

Class I: physical activity is not restricted, and ordinary activities do not cause fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea or angina;

Grade II.: physical activity is slightly restricted, no conscious symptoms at rest, but shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea or angina may occur under normal activities;

Grade III.: Significantly limited physical activity, less than usual general activities (or housework activities) can cause the above symptoms;

Level IV: Cannot engage in any physical activity. Symptoms of heart failure also occur at rest, worsening with any physical activity.
