Advanced heart failure: a contemporary approach
Kyeong-Hyeon Chun, Seok-Min Kang
Korean J Intern Med. 2023;38(4):471-483. Published online June 28, 2023
Advanced heart failure (HF) is defined as the persistence of severe symptoms despite the use of optimized medical, surgical, and device therapies. These patients require timely advanced treatments, such as heart transplantation or long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Inotropic agents are ..
