Heart Failure in Internal Medicine: A Comprehensive Review of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Emerging Therapies
Challa Abhilash | Narapaneni Sravanthi [4] | C. Prabhakar Raju [11]
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a pervasive challenge in internal medicine, necessitating a nuanced understanding of its diagnosis, treatment, and emerging therapeutic interventions. This comprehensive review navigates the intricate landscape of HF, elucidating prevalent challenges and advocating for a holistic approach. The literature surveyed unveils a wealth of research elucidating the multifaceted connections between HF, its diagnostic criteria, treatment modalities, and the potential for emerging therapies. HF, characterised by the heart's inability to pump blood effectively, has far-reaching implications for patient outcomes, demanding a comprehensive understanding of its underlying mechanisms. In the ensuing discussion, we explore the strategies for HF diagnosis, emphasising the pivotal role of advanced imaging, biomarkers, and clinical assessment. The management of HF cases, ranging from lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy to advanced interventions like heart transplantation, is crucial for improving patient outcomes. The review also addresses emerging therapies, including gene therapy, stem cell transplantation, and innovative pharmacological approaches, offering a glimpse into the evolving landscape of HF treatment. In conclusion, this review underscores the urgency of a multifaceted approach to HF diagnosis and treatment in internal medicine. As HF remains a significant challenge, healthcare providers must integrate advanced diagnostics and evolving therapeutic options to enhance patient care. Collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, including cardiologists, internists, and researchers, is essential for advancing the field of HF management.
