Heart failure in 2013: Continue what we are doing to treat HF, but do it better

Jay N Cohn. Nat Rev Cardiol. 2014 Feb.

Abstract

In 2013, clinical trials in heart failure focused on drugs and devices that might improve treatment of symptomatic patients beyond standard therapy. None achieved this aim. Therefore, future efforts should emphasize increased adherence to current, evidence-based therapy, and trials might better address efforts to prevent, rather than treat, heart failure.
