Abstract:Heart failure (HF) is a terminal stage of various organic heart diseases and has relatively high mortality and morbidity. But, there are few interventions effectively improving its long-term outcomes during or soon after hospitalization. Recent studies showed that nonpharmacologic electrophysiology-based interventions have significant effect on chronic HF. Therefore, future studies should focus on the underlying mechanisms of electrophysiological interventions, clarify these nonpharmacologic methods, and investigate the possible adverse effects in order to explore more effective approaches for the treatment of chronic HF in the elderly.
