Understanding Interventional Heart Failure

The medicines that treat heart failure were each established by a large randomised trial, and together they form what clinicians call the four pillars. They work by blunting the hormonal systems the body uses to compensate for a weak heart, systems that help in the short term and damage the heart over years. Started at low dose and increased gradually, they reduce hospital admissions and lengthen life. Getting every patient onto all four, at the full dose they can tolerate, remains one of the biggest unmet tasks in cardiology.
