New Strategies to Prevent Rehospitalizations for Heart Failure.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Heart failure (HF) hospitalizations are common, costly, associated with poor outcomes and potentially avoidable. Reducing HF hospitalizations is therefore a major objective of US healthcare. This review aims to outline causes for HF hospitalizations and provides actionable strategies for HF hospitalization prevention.

RECENT FINDINGS: Heart failure hospitalizations often have multifactorial and diverse etiologies associated with medical and social patient factors leading to increased congestion. The most recently updated American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Failure Society of America Guidelines for the Management of HF were published in 2022 and utilize high-quality evidence to offer a framework for analyzing and preventing HF hospitalizations.

SUMMARY: Prevention of hospitalizations can be achieved by optimizing guideline-directed medical therapies, incorporating appropriate device-based technologies, and utilizing systems-based practices. By identifying treatment gaps and opportunities for improved HF care, this review comprehensively defines the challenges associated with HF rehospitalizations as well as potential solutions.
