Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is an end-stage manifestation of various heart diseases and a major cause of death in patients with heart disease. Morbidity increases with age, and mortality and hospitalization remain high. This chapter will introduce definition, mechanism, diagnosis, and management of heart failure. Through the description of the pathophysiology of heart failure, to understand the current world’s cutting-edge treatment technology. Whether it is chronic heart failure or acute heart failure, it is a challenge for doctors in this era to propose effective treatment methods based on symptomatic treatment. From the traditional single drug treatment gradually to more challenging mechanical treatment evolution. In this chapter, the current effective, feasible and high survival rate treatment methods are briefly listed.
