[Management of chronic heart failure].
Throughout the last years the concept and methods of treatment of chronic heart failure have considerably changed. The objective of the treatment is not only the relief of the symptoms, but also prevention of the onset and progression of the disease. The emphasis of treatment aims to moderate the increased neuroendocrine activity and thus to prevent myocardial damage. This review summarizes our knowledge concerning the treatment of chronic heart failure due to left ventricular dysfunction. It is based on former American guidelines and especially on the guideline of the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology. The treatment of systolic and diastolic dysfunction of left ventricle are separately discussed. Emphasis is laid on the non pharmacologic treatment of heart failure. The treatment with ACE-inhibitors, diuretics, betablockers, digitalis, calcium antagonists and other drugs as well as the invasive procedures are also discussed.
