MODERN APPROACHES TO THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF HEART FAILURE

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant advances in cardiovascular medicine, the prevalence of heart failure continues to increase due to population aging and the growing burden of cardiovascular risk factors. This article reviews modern approaches to the prevention and treatment of heart failure. Particular attention is given to risk factor modification, early diagnosis, evidence-based pharmacological therapies, and advanced technological interventions. The study analyzes the effectiveness of contemporary treatment strategies, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, and device-based therapies. In addition, the role of telemedicine, remote monitoring, and multidisciplinary care in improving patient outcomes is discussed. The findings indicate that comprehensive preventive measures and modern therapeutic approaches significantly reduce mortality, hospitalization rates, and disease progression while improving quality of life.
