Foundational pharmacological therapies, including angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), and sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors (SGLTis), have been established for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Moreover, recent trials have established the role of SGLTis in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, even with these therapies, a substantial residual risk persists in both HFrEF and HFpEF. Alongside pharmacological advancements, device-based therapies have shown efficacy in HF management, including implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). More recently, devices such as cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) and baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) have been approved by the FDA, although they lack comprehensive guideline recommendations. This scientific statement outlines the unmet needs in chronic HF, reviews contemporary data and provides a framework for integrating novel device-based therapies into current clinical workflows. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and phenotyping, proper patient stratification and a personalized approach to combining pharmacological and device therapies. The document also highlights the need for further research into device interactions and patient selection to optimize outcomes, while recognizing the need for a more integrated approach to treatment so as to address the unmet needs and residual risks in HF management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiac Failure","volume":"30 11","pages":"Pages 1472-1488"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
