摘要: Cardiovascular diseases represent a leading cause of mortality and increased healthcare expenditure worldwide. Heart failure, which simply describes an inability the heart to meet body's needs, is end point for many other cardiovascular conditions. The last three decades have witnessed significant efforts aiming at discovery treatments improve survival quality life patients with failure; were successful, while others failed. Given that most successes in treating failure achieved reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF), we constructed this review look recent evolution HFrEF pharmacotherapy. We also explore some ongoing clinical trials new drugs, investigate potential treatment targets pathways might play role future.
