title: Modern management of heart failure.
abstract: If symptom-oriented treatment does not alleviate disease, patients may benefit from adjustments in the drug regimen that are aimed at specific hemodynamic goals, most notably the reduction of left ventricular filling pressure. Growing experience with such tailoring suggests that medical intervention in heart failure does not need to compromise between relief of symptoms and improvement of cardiac function.
