Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With your continuous support and high interest in the Special Issues “Clinical Management of Patients with Heart Failure” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/91TCP5E3S2) and “Clinical Management of Patients with Heart Failure—2nd Edition” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/UT0V9ZEL70), we managed to open the third edition. The first edition closed with 16 published articles. The second edition amassed over 10 published articles in 9 months, and we closed it without extending the deadline. Both previous editions were published as reprints. We intend to continue our effort in publishing high-quality original articles, reviews, and meta-analyses, and we hope that, with your support, the third edition will be as successful as the previous ones.
Worldwide, one of the leading causes for increased morbidity and mortality is heart failure, leading to increased costs for the healthcare systems. It evolves with repeated episodes of decompensation, representing one of the most frequent reasons for hospitalization in the cardiology or internal medicine units, but also aggravating the course of other pathologies. Even in its more stable form, chronic heart failure may affect patients' well-being and quality of life, impacting their level of activity, reducing their possibility of self-care, and also generating socio-economic consequences for the diseased persons and their families.
Over the past decade, new therapeutic methods have been developed, and the availability of specialized medical care for the general population has increased, leading to better management of patients with heart failure and to an increase in the life expectancy of these subjects. Although a variety of new treatment options are available, starting with innovative drugs and continuing with invasive procedures, not to forget the lifestyle change measures, selecting the most appropriate management of heart failure is difficult, raising challenges for the medical personnel and healthcare systems while often leading to suboptimal results for the patient.
