Abstract:
Recently, 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure has been published. It advocates to pay equal attention to the prevention and treatment of heart failure; and emphasizes that primary prevention based on natriuretic peptides screening is essential for patients at risk for heart failure or with pre-heart failure. Furthermore, it recommends that patients with symptomatic heart failure should receive care from a multidisciplinary team to facilitate the implementation of "basic quadruple therapy" including sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors; and that patients with advanced heart failure who wish to prolong their survival should be timely referral for heart failure specialty care and assess suitability for advanced heart failure therapies.
