Translational Approach to Heart Failure

Abstract

Multimodal treatments can alleviate the symptoms or reverse the progression of heart failure. Besides the lifestyle management and pharmacological therapies, various device-based interventions have been introduced. In this review, we summarize recent developments with regard to treatment of chronic heart failure as they are designed to target various components in the cascade of heart failure progression.
