title: [Management of heart failure].
abstract: Heart failure is a common and serious condition. Over recent decades, its therapeutic management has changed considerably. Treatments and therapeutic education help to improve the symptoms as well as reduce mortality and the risk of rehospitalisation. Finally, the management of the condition takes into account the patient as a whole with his or her illness, comorbidities and projects.
