Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on heart failure (HF), examining its epidemiology, particularly trends in Korea, and the impact of various conditions and treatments. It covers the intersection of HF with obesity, right ventricular dysfunction, and atrial fibrillation. The journal also addresses therapeutic strategies including novel drug classes like GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, as well as interventions such as catheter ablation and palliative care. Diagnostic methods like right heart catheterization and echocardiography are discussed, alongside patient management, quality of care initiatives, and the role of healthcare professionals in HF treatment and prevention.
