Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure remains a major global health challenge, affecting millions of individuals worldwide and representing a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality. Despite advances in cardiovascular medicine, the burden of heart failure continues to grow due to ageing populations, the increasing prevalence of risk factors like hypertension and diabetes, and improved survival from acute cardiac events.
This Special Issue, entitled "New Insights into Heart Failure Management and Treatment," delves into the latest research and clinical innovations seeking to address this complex syndrome. It highlights novel therapeutic approaches, including pharmacological advancements and device-based treatments, updated clinical guidelines, and cutting-edge diagnostic techniques that enable earlier detection and more personalized care.
Emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary management models that integrate cardiology, primary care, and allied health services to improve patient quality of life and reduce hospital readmissions. By synthesizing emerging evidence and expert perspectives, this Issue seeks to inform clinicians, researchers, and healthcare providers about future directions in heart failure treatment and the critical need for ongoing innovation to mitigate its growing impact.
