Résumé
Chronic heart failure is the most common cause of hospitalization in Europe and rates are steadily increasing due to aging of the population. Hospitalization identifies a fundamental change in the natural history of heart failure (HF) increasing the risk of re-hospitalization and mortality. Heart failure management programs improve the quality of care for HF patients and reduce hospitalization burden. The goals of the heart failure management programs include optimization of drug therapy, patient education, early recognition of signs of decompensation, and management of comorbidities. Randomized clinical trials evidenced that system of care for heart failure patients improved adherence to treatment and reduced unplanned re-admissions to hospital. Multidisciplinary programs and home-visiting have shown improved efficacy with reductions in HF and all-cause hospitalizations and mortality. Community HF clinics should take care of the management of stable patients in strict contact with primary care, while hospital out-patients clinics should care of patients with severe disease or persistent clinical instability, candidates to advanced treatment options. In any case a holistic, patient-centered approach is suggested, to optimize care considering the needs of the individual patient. Telemonitoring is a new opportunity for HF patients, because it allows the continuity of care at home. All heart failure patients should require follow-up in a specific management program, but most of date come from clinical trials that included high-risk patients. While clinical trials have a specified duration (from months to some years), lifelong follow-up is recommended with differentiated approaches according to the patient's need.
