Relationship between blood pressure and heart failure: research status and challenges

Abstract

Abstract:

The relationship between blood pressure and heart failure is close and complex. Hypertension is an important risk factor for heart failure, and the management of blood pressure runs through the whole process of treatment and prognosis improvement for patients with heart failure. At present, it is still controversial and unclear as to how to manage blood pressure in patients with heart failure, what is the best target value for blood pressure control in patients with heart failure, and whether differences exist between different types of heart failures. As a result, there is a lack of adequate evidence-based blood pressure management programs. This paper provides a review of the current status, recent progress, and challenges in research on the relationship between blood pressure and heart failure.

Key words: Blood pressure, Hypertension, Heart failure, Prognosis, J-curve
