En este artículo se comentan las principales novedades que han surgido en el último año en el ámbito de la insuficiencia cardíaca (IC). Se incluyen los avances en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento médico de la IC, el trasplante cardíaco, la cirugía de remodelado ventricular, los dispositivos de asistencia mecánica circulatoria, la resincronización cardíaca y la terapia celular. Se pone de manifiesto que el manejo actual de la IC es un gran reto que depende en gran medida del avance de la investigación a diferentes niveles y de las modificaciones subsiguientes en la práctica clínica para incorporar esos avances.
