Abstract

The ventricular failure to fill or eject blood into the systemic circulation is characterized as heart failure (HF). HF is a severe disease that requires treatment and rehabilitation to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve the patient's life quality. However, some therapies remain incomprehensible to many professionals. The purpose of the study was to highlight the primary therapies for HF, including medications, clinical trials, physical training, dietary habits, and alternative therapies such as yoga, meditation, laughter, and Tai Chi exercise. According to PRISMA rules for systematic reviews and Clinical Trials Gov rules for clinical trials, this is a review. There are several HF treatment methods, thus applying to the specific needs of each individual, thus being able to succeed both in drug therapy as reducing heart rate, improving the N-terminal fraction of B-type natriuretic peptide and left ventricular ejection fraction, besides reducing mortality and, alternative therapy emerges as a strategy to improve depression and anxiety, especially the quality of life of patients with HF. Therefore, the treatments act to improve the quality of life of individuals. For some, even palliatively, the therapy must still be combined with a change in lifestyle by applying physical exercises and balanced nutrition. There are few clinical studies in progress in Brazil, which calls for more clinical applications with drugs in humans to discover and revolutionize the treatment of the disease.
