Popis:	Heart failure is a progressive condition that is increasing in prevalence. Clinical findings, together with natriuretic peptide measurement and echocardiography, underpin diagnosis. Drugs can improve the prognosis (ACE-inhibitor, beta blockers) and ameliorate symptoms (diuretics). Non-pharmacological treatment includes exercise therapy, smoking cessation and nutritional care. Heart failure has a poor prognosis and early palliative input is recommended.
