Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite significant advances in pharmacotherapy and therapy, heart failure remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity, and is a growing healthcare burden worldwide. However, there has been a growing understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms of heart failure, although there remain gaps in the knowledge, particularly with respect to acute decompensated heart failure, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and in the management of prevalent comorbidities that contribute to its pathophysiology, such as diabetes and anaemia. This Special Issue will focus on recent research and developments in these areas.
