MODERN ASPECTS OF THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEART FAILURE

Abstrak

The article is devoted to new trends in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). In the etiological structure of CHF, unlike in previous years, arterial hypertension occupied a significant place. Among the methods for diagnosing CHF, the determination of the levels of natriuretic peptides and data from an ultrasound examination of the heart play a leading role. Basic therapy for CHF is based on the use of three groups of drugs: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, β-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. New prospects in the treatment of CHF associated with the use of ivabradine and the blocker neprilysin together with sartan are considered.
