Killip class — The Killip classification, published in 1967, categorizes patients with an acute MI based upon the presence or absence of simple physical examination findings that suggest LV dysfunction
Class I - no evidence of HF
Class II - findings consistent with mild to moderate HF (S3, lung rales less than one-half way up the
posterior lung fields, or jugular venous distension)
Class III - overt pulmonary edema
Class IV - cardiogenic shock
