Chronic heart failure has become a significant health problem. Cardiac surgery has an important role in the treatment of patients with heart failure. There are traditional surgical techniques in cardiac surgery - coronary revascularization, valve surgery, ventricular reconstructive surgery as well as new surgical techniques - cardiac support device (CorCap), mechanical circulatory support and resynchronization therapy. Cardiac surgery has a definitive role in the treatment algorithm for chronic heart failure.
慢性心力衰竭已成为一个重大的健康问题。心脏外科手术在心力衰竭患者的治疗中具有重要作用。心脏外科手术中有传统的手术技术——冠状动脉血运重建、瓣膜手术、心室重建手术以及新的手术技术——心脏辅助装置（CorCap）、机械循环支持和再同步治疗。心脏外科手术在慢性心力衰竭的治疗算法中具有明确的作用。
