Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure (HF) is a pandemic of the third millennium, accounting for high rates of mortality and hospitalizations. The HF burden has exposed cardiologists and hospitals to an increasing number of patients requiring treatment. For this reason, an improved approach to HF is required. The introduction of new treatment strategies, such as guanylate cyclase stimulators and myosin activators, is opening up new possibilities for HF patients to avoid adverse events. Moreover, the results of recent SGLT2i trials have opened up new treatment possibilities for HF patients with preserved ejection fraction. Besides pharmacological treatment, interesting results have been observed regarding the non-pharmacological treatment for HF, such as cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) in patients with refractory symptoms, which reduces the number of HF and CV deaths. Moreover, the COVID era showed the potential of telemedicine in HF. In conclusion, a tailored approach to HF patients is needed in order to improve the quality of life of patients.
This Special Issue will focus on new challenges in heart failure management. Original articles and reviews of the current literature on this topic will be taken into account. The Special Issue will focus on diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic innovations with the aim of sharing clinical experiences to improve HF patients’ management.
