PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Heart failure (HF) is characterized by a significant imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), with chronic sympathetic nervous system (SNS) overactivity leading to maladaptive cardiac remodeling, arrhythmia, and hemodynamic instability. In this review, we aim to discuss current and emerging therapies and the potential path forward for developing future novel neuromodulatory therapies in HF. RECENT FINDINGS: Neuromodulatory therapies including splanchnic nerve modulation (SNM), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), baroreflex activation therapy (BAT), and renal denervation (RDN) reduce sympathetic output in individuals with HF, leading to improved cardiac function, neurohormonal regulation, and vascular resistance. However, implementation of these strategies in clinical practice is limited owing to variability in response, patient selection criteria, and insufficient long-term efficacy data. Gene therapy targeting Gαi2 proteins, and adenylyl cyclase isoforms have demonstrated potential in reducing sympathetic overactivation. Endovascular BAT such as the Mobius HD has shown early indications of improvements in symptoms, left ventricular function, and biomarkers in patients with HF. These emerging therapies warrant further investigation. Neuromodulation is a characteristic method for reducing disease progression and improving outcomes in individuals with autonomic dysfunction-driven HF. Although initial studies demonstrate benefits, long-term impact of neuromodulation on HF development, symptom load, and survival has not yet been thoroughly demonstrated. Future studies should prioritize deep phenotyping using genetic and biomarker profiles to improve patient selection. Comparative trials are required to assess the efficacy and safety of neuromodulatory therapies relative to conventional approaches. Large-scale trials are needed to optimize procedural procedures, and assess the long-term efficacy of treatment interventions.
综述目的:心力衰竭(HF)的特征是自主神经系统(ANS)严重失衡,慢性交感神经系统(SNS)过度活跃导致心脏适应性重塑、心律失常和血流动力学不稳定。在本综述中,我们旨在讨论当前和新兴的治疗方法以及开发未来心力衰竭新型神经调节疗法的潜在前进方向。 最新发现:包括内脏神经调制(SNM)、迷走神经刺激(VNS)、压力反射激活疗法(BAT)和肾去神经支配(RDN)在内的神经调节疗法可降低心力衰竭患者的交感神经输出,从而改善心脏功能、神经激素调节和血管阻力。然而,由于反应的变异性、患者选择标准以及长期疗效数据不足,这些策略在临床实践中的应用受到限制。靶向Gαi2蛋白和腺苷酸环化酶同工型的基因疗法已显示出降低交感神经过度激活的潜力。血管内BAT,如Mobius HD,已显示出改善心力衰竭患者症状、左心室功能和生物标志物的早期迹象。这些新兴疗法值得进一步研究。神经调节是减少自主神经功能障碍驱动的心力衰竭患者疾病进展和改善预后的一种特色方法。尽管初步研究显示了益处,但神经调节对心力衰竭发展、症状负荷和生存的长期影响尚未得到充分证实。未来的研究应优先使用基因和生物标志物谱进行深度表型分析,以改善患者选择。需要进行比较试验,以评估神经调节疗法相对于传统方法的疗效和安全性。需要进行大规模试验,以优化手术程序,并评估治疗干预的长期疗效。
