Heart Failure Therapeutics

Heart failure therapies aim to improve the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. Treatments include medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, and aldosterone antagonists that reduce symptoms, prevent hospitalizations, and improve quality of life. Device-based therapies like implantable defibrillators or biventricular pacemakers may also be used. Lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and managing comorbidities, are vital. In advanced cases, heart transplant or mechanical circulatory support might be options. Overall, these therapies focus on relieving symptoms, slowing disease progression, and enhancing survival.
