The Spectrum of Heart Failure Management

Usman Ghani et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

Heart failure, a complex cardiovascular condition, is a huge burden on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems and it is prevalent worldwide. Heart failure is caused by a wide variety of underlying conditions that include both cardiac and non-cardiac pathologies. Identifying the underlying cause enables us to apply etiology-based interventions. The spectrum of heart failure management ranges from classification to transplantation. In addition to its classification and monitoring, this article reviews various management strategies, including both conventional methods and the latest innovations. These include lifestyle interventions, pharmacotherapy, device therapy, transplantation, and regenerative medicine.

Keywords: classification; device therapy; heart failure; lifestyle; management; medication; monitoring; regenerative medicine; transplant.
