Catheter-Based Management of Heart Failure: Pathophysiology and Contemporary Data.
Device therapy for severe heart failure (HF) has shown efficacy both in acute and chronic settings. Recent percutaneous device innovations have pioneered a field known as interventional HF, providing clinicians with a variety of options for acute decompensated HF that are centered on nonsurgical mechanical circulatory support. Other structural-based therapies are aimed at the pathophysiology of chronic HF and target the underlying etiologies such as functional mitral regurgitation, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and increased neurohumoral activity. Remote hemodynamic monitoring devices have also been shown to be efficacious for the ambulatory management of HF. We review the current data on devices and investigational therapies for HF management whereby pharmacotherapy falls short.
