🎯 FAIR: Heart Failure Decompensation

F — Fatal: HF is #1 cause of readmission — 23% return within 30 days; most showed warning signs days before
A — Assess: FACES framework (Fatigue, Activity, Congestion, Edema, SOB), daily weights, orthopnea (89% specificity)
I — Intervene: Escalate with objective findings, investigate precipitant (meds, sodium, infection, arrhythmia)
R — Repeat: Track NYHA class over time, serial weights, don't trust clear lungs in chronic HF
