Abstract

The pathophysiology and targeted management of heart failure is now well understood. However, patients may live for some years with significant symptoms and resultant reduced quality of life. Good supportive care and access to specialist palliative care is important for optimum care for patients living and dying from heart failure.

摘要

目前，人们对心力衰竭的病理生理学和靶向治疗已有充分了解。然而，患者可能会带着明显症状存活数年，从而导致生活质量下降。良好的支持性护理以及获得专科姑息治疗，对于心力衰竭患者从生到死的最佳护理至关重要。
