Abstract

Heart failure (HF) diagnosis and treatment present formidable challenges, given the absence of a definitive single test. This systematic literature review aims to comprehensively analyze the current landscape of diagnostic tools, modern drugs, and latest investigative approaches in HF management. Recognizing the complexity of HF etiology, this systematic review emphasizes the importance of advanced diagnostic methods, such as genetic testing and artificial intelligence applications. The systematic review was conducted to synthesize evidence on diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HF. Databases were systematically searched for relevant studies such as PubMed, along with Scopus, along with Web of Science, along with Embase, along with the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria included ‘tools’, ‘Heart Failure’, ‘modern drugs’, or ‘latest investigations’ used in the diagnosis or treatment of HF. The selected studies (n=26) were critically appraised for methodological quality. The findings reveal the intricate nature of HF diagnosis, relying on a comprehensive assessment of patient history, physical examinations, imaging studies, and biomarkers. This review emphasizes the role of advanced diagnostic tools and the critical importance of risk markers. Modern drugs, including diuretic agents and digoxin, are discussed for optimal symptom management. Novel therapeutic approaches in advanced clinical stages offer promising avenues for HF treatment.In conclusion, this systematic review provides a nuanced overview of HF management, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of diagnosis and treatment. It underscores the need for ongoing research and innovation to enhance diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic efficacy, and ultimately improve outcomes for individuals with HF. The insights contribute to a foundation for future research directions, fostering a more personalized approach to HF diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: Heart failure, heart failure diagnosis, heart failure treatment, Diagnostic tools, Modern drugs, Investigative approaches.
