Chronic heart
failure therapeutic pipeline will increase in near future due to increasing
cases of the disease. The prevalence of chronic heart failure is increasing globally
due to the factors including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol,
less physical activity and tobacco consumption. These factors are contributing
in driving the pipeline analysis for chronic heart failure. According to Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, around 5.7 million adults in the U.S. have
heart failure and about half of people die within five years of diagnosis.
Asthma is equally prevalent in women than in men.

Chronic heart
failure is a condition, in which heart muscles gets damaged and cannot pump
blood properly. This condition slows down the rate of blood flow and increases
the pressure, resulting in insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients to the
body. The damage can be a result of heart attack or long-term health issues
like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Heart failure can be
caused by several conditions including heart attack, coronary artery disease,
thyroid, kidney disease and cardiomyopathy. Some of the symptoms of chronic
heart failure include lung congestion, dizziness, fluid and water retention,
fatigue, irregular heartbeats and weakness. Chronic heart failure is
categorized into two types, systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction.
Heart failure is diagnosed by analysing patient’s medical history and examining
the symptoms. Also, alcohol consumption, smoking and drugs intake are
considered while diagnosing the disease. Certain tests are also conducted for
confirmation which includes blood tests, chest X-ray, B-type natriuretic
peptide blood test, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization
and the ejection fraction test. Chronic heart failure can be treated with
strict medications and healthy lifestyle with regular monitoring. The treatment
initially aims to decrease the symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patient.
