AI Article Synopsis
- - Non-pharmacological therapies are crucial in heart failure management, working alongside medications to slow disease progression and enhance patient health outcomes.
- - The review highlights important lifestyle changes (like diet and exercise), device therapies (like CRT and ICD), and focuses on treating specific groups, including the elderly and patients with additional health issues.
- - It emphasizes the need for personalized care approaches tailored to individual health conditions and socioeconomic factors to improve patient adherence and lower the burden of heart failure.
Article Abstract
Non-pharmacological therapies play an essential role in the management of heart failure, complementing pharmacological treatments to mitigate disease progression and improve patient outcomes. This review provides an updated perspective on non-pharmacological interventions with a focus on lifestyle modifications, device therapies, and the management of heart failure in special populations, such as the elderly, women, and patients with comorbid conditions like renal dysfunction and diabetes. Key lifestyle interventions, including sodium and fluid restriction, dietary changes, and physical activity, are explored for their impact on symptom reduction, hospital readmissions, and quality of life. Device therapies like cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are also evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing mortality in patients with advanced HF. Special attention is given to vulnerable populations, emphasizing the need for individualized approaches tailored to specific pathophysiological mechanisms and socioeconomic factors. By integrating these strategies, healthcare providers can optimize care and enhance patient adherence, reducing the overall burden of heart failure.

Sacubitril/valsartan, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, is widely used to treat heart failure. Despite its efficacy, sacubitril/valsartan inevitably causes adverse events such as hypotension, renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Sacubitril/valsartan-associated ototoxicity is often underreported in clinical studies and real-world settings.

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels accurately reflect the degree of cardiac overload in heart failure. Considering cardiac morphology and intracardiac pressure, including the left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), is essential for cardiac overload assessment. These indexes influence plasma BNP levels, and high heart rate is likely associated with cardiac morphology.

Introduction: Currently, there is little evidence on the prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia risk or frailty risk in patients post heart transplantation (HTx). The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of sociodemographic, lifestyle, physical, and psychological factors on sarcopenia and frailty risk in patients post-HTx.
Methods: 133 patients post-HTx (59.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in women is a serious cardiovascular (CV) event associated with a high mortality rate. Non-ischemic etiologies are the most common etiologies in women, such as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, peripartum/postpartum cardiomyopathy, heart failure-related CS, or CS due to myocarditis or valvular heart disease. Although not being the most common etiology in women, acute myocardial infarction is still an important one.
