Heart failure in 2010: one step forward, two steps back

Mihai Gheorghiade et al. Nat Rev Cardiol. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Patients with heart failure (HF) fall into two categories—those who are stable and ambulatory with a relatively low event rate, and patients requiring hospitalization who are characterized by high post-discharge mortality and rates of rehospitalization. HF trials in 2010 contributed to the advancement of outpatient management, whereas the development of novel therapies with a survival benefit remains an unmet need in acute HF syndromes.
