Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure is common, accounting for significant morbidity and mortality. Although many guideline-directed therapies for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, such as drugs against excessive neurohormonal activation and advanced device therapies, have been developed, the prevalence of heart failure is increasing because of the ageing of the population and improved treatment of acute cardiovascular events. Furthermore, there are groups of patients who do not receive sufficient benefits from existing therapies. Meanwhile, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a heterogeneous disorder that remains incompletely understood, and therefore, few therapies have shown significant effects. Given the large heterogeneity of heart failure, patients with multiple etiologies, cardiac phenotypes, and other co-morbidities, a currently advocated “one-size-fits-all” approach would not be appropriate for every patient. Studies that can address these unmet needs in patients with heart failure would provide a breakthrough in this research field. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight advances and perspectives in the context of diagnosis, treatment, and risk stratification toward precision strategy for patients with heart failure.
