Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on heart failure (HF) research and clinical care. It covers topics such as acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) admissions and clinical presentations, the hemodynamic effects of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), and strategies to improve care for diverse racial and ethnic populations with HF. The journal also explores the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in HF diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, as well as advancements in gene therapy for cardiomyopathies. Additionally, it addresses the management of cardiogenic shock (CS) with mechanical support and vasoactive agents, and the biochemical targets for optimizing skeletal muscle energy usage in HF.
