Chronic heart failure may be caused by systolic pump failure and/or impairment of diastolic filling of the ventricles. Standard pharmacotherapy of systolic heart failure includes an ACE inhibitor, betablocker, diuretics and in patients with severe symptoms a low-dose aldosterone antagonist. An AT(1) receptor blocker is indicated in those not tolerating ACE inhibitors. If patients remain in functional class NYHA III-IV despite optimal medication and have cardiac dyssynchrony, biventricular pacing may improve symptoms and prognosis. While evidence-based treatment significantly reduces morbidity and mortality in systolic heart failure, hardly any results of clinical trials are available for diastolic heart failure. Therefore, therapy in patients with diastolic heart failure remains symptomatic in most cases.
