New therapeutic strategies for heart failure
Abstract
This is an exciting time for the field of pediatric heart failure. While historically there has been little improvement in overall outcomes, there are more recent data suggesting that both short-term and long-term survival may be improving. Multiple factors likely contributed to this including the evolution and focus on pediatric heart failure as a distinct specialty within pediatric cardiology, improved medical management, and improved options for mechanical circulatory support. Moreover, there are many new promising therapies that will hopefully further improve heart failure outcomes for children in the coming decades. This chapter focuses on several of these new medications that have been helpful for adult patients with heart failure and are promising for pediatric heart failure.
