Heart failure in the elderly can be controlled by a series of treatments to control the progression of the disease, improve the related symptoms and prolong the survival period, but it cannot be completely cured. Specific measures include active treatment of primary disease, general treatment, drug treatment, non-drug treatment and so on. 1. Active treatment of primary diseases: various organic heart diseases can cause heart failure, so active treatment of primary diseases is essential to control the progression of heart failure, such as reasonable control of blood pressure, prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia rewiring treatment, avoidance or control of respiratory infections and so on. 2. General treatment: educate the patients to control their emotions, not to exert themselves, have a regular work and rest schedule, have a reasonable diet, control their weight, cooperate with the treatment, take medication according to the plan and follow up for review. 3. Drug therapy: certain drugs can delay or improve ventricular remodeling, improve the symptoms of heart failure, and prolong the life of patients, such as captopril, valsartan, metoprolol, spironolactone and so on. Certain drugs can effectively improve the symptoms of heart failure and improve the quality of patients’ survival, although they cannot improve the survival rate, such as the positive inotropic drug digitalis and the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide. It is recommended to choose the appropriate drugs under the guidance of professional doctors. 4. Non-surgical treatment: cardiac resynchronization therapy can be used for patients with myocardial contraction dyssynchrony; implantable cardioverter defibrillator can be considered for patients at risk of malignant arrhythmia; pacemaker implantation can be chosen for patients with severe chronic arrhythmia. Force failure in the elderly requires long-term treatment and management, and the treatment options for patients with different conditions are different, so it is recommended that patients go to the hospital as soon as possible, and formulate a reasonable treatment plan under the guidance of a professional doctor.
