Abstract

Heart failure is a serious clinical problem and it’s incidence increases with age. Patients with heart failure are a heterogeneous group in terms of basic clinical indicators, such as congestion, blood pressure, heart rate, atrial fibrillation, renal function, and electrolytes. Different clinical phenotypes of patients should lead to an individual approach to optimizing the treatment of heart failure. Aldosterone antagonists, including spironolactone, are the foundation of the treatment of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Heart rate reduction with ivabradine is beneficial in certain patients with heart failure.
