Emerging devices for heart failure management

There have been significant advances in the treatment of heart failure (HF) in recent years, driven by significant strides in guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Despite this, HF is still associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality, and most patients do not receive optimal medical therapy. In conjunction with the improvement of GDMT, novel device therapies have been developed to better treat HF. These devices include technology capable of remotely monitoring HF physiology, devices that modulate the autonomic nervous system, and those that structurally change the heart with the ultimate aim of addressing the root causes of HF physiology As these device therapies gradually integrate into the fabric of HF patient care, it becomes increasingly important for modern cardiologists to become familiar with them. Hence, the objective of this review is to shed light on currently emerging devices for the treatment of HF.
