Abstract
Cardiac failure (HF) is a multifaceted clinical center described by the incapacity of a heart to sufficiently pump blood leading to inefficient perfusion of tissues. It has two main categories that are represented by ejection fraction: Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF), or Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). The following review is a summary of research on the diverse causes, symptoms as well as management approaches involved in heart failure. Heart disorder comes about as a result of the following factors: coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart diseases, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects the main symptoms include shortness of breath, weariness/tiredness, and swelling of the feet among others. Management strategies cover lifestyle modifications, medicines using treatment (e.g. diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers), and further treatments like cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) consisting of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) along with mechanical circulatory support (MCS); however, there is also heart transplant aside them.’ Future progression in genetic treatment gene therapy, as well as stem cell study, sounds promising over improving results obtained from HF treatment.
