Managing heart failure presents significant challenges for healthcare professionals due to the increasing prevalence of the syndrome in older populations with multiple co-morbidities.
This review emphasizes the growing complexity of heart failure management due to aging and comorbidities, advocating for multi-disciplinary, patient-centered care and better adherence to clinical guidelines.
Research and evidence-based practice in heart failure (HF) have well been developed the latest years helping health professionals to cope with multiple care needs of patients with HF. The current review presents an overview of the challenging issues of health professionals who care for patients with HF. The review was based on the relevant databases of PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Cochrane Library (reviews and clinical trials). Mortality and impaired quality of life in patients with HF still rises. This is mainly due to the ageing of population and the fact that prevalence of HF is higher in older people. Often HF in order people exists with co-morbidities which make HF diagnosis and management more difficult and complex.
