The advanced stage of heart failure in 88 year olds cannot be cured, but the progress of heart failure can be slowed down by medication and other treatments to maximize the preservation of heart function. Cardiomyocytes are not regenerative, and heart failure caused by damage to cardiomyocytes in elderly patients cannot be cured. Heart failure in the elderly usually has primary diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, etc. Targeted treatment should be carried out on the basis of clarifying the primary diseases. The physical condition of the elderly cannot be compared with that of young people, so for heart failure in the elderly, doctors usually use some drugs that can improve heart failure, such as spironolactone, captopril, and cloxartan, according to the patient’s physical condition.
