Acute myocardial infarction（AMI）is the major medical challenge in China and throughout the world. With the progress of percutaneous coronary intervention（PCI），the mortality rate of AMI is decreased. However，the incidence of heart failure（HF）after AMI increases and the risk of death is markedly increased. This paper reviews the latest progress of diagnosis and treatment of HF after AMI，and aims to promote and optimize the standardized clinical strategies and the standardized management of HF after AMI and to improve the outcome of these patients.
