Acute decompensated heart failure. What are we missing?

Main Article Content

Pradub Sukhum P, MD, FACC

Abstract

The treatment of chronic heart failure, particularly when due to systolic dysfunction, is built around therapies that have been shown to reduce long-term mortality and improve symptoms such as: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers and aldosterone antagonists. More recent evidence-based management includes device therapy such as Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), Implantable Cardiovertor Defibrillator (ICD) or the Ventricular Assist Device (VAD).
