ABSTRACT
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a prevalent and serious condition that affects millions globally, characterized by the heart’s inability to pump blood effectively, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the management and treatment strategies for CHF, with an emphasis on both pharmaco logical and non pharmacological approaches. Key pharmacologic intervent ions, including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), beta blockers, and diuretics, are discussed in relation to their mechanisms of action and clinical effectiveness in symptom management and survival improvement. Additionally, device based therapies such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are reviewed for their role in advanced stages of the disease. Non pharmacological treatments, including lifestyle modifications, dietary re commendations, and patient education, are also highlighted as essential components in improving quality of life and preventing disease progression. The report concludes with an emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach to CHF management, stressing the impor tance of personalized treatment plans and ongoing patient monitoring to achieve optimal outcomes.
