Advanced heart failure (HF) is used to characterized patients in HF with severe symptoms, recurrent decompensation and severe cardiac dysfunction. The prevalencekof HFkis approximatelyg1-2% of thecadult population inhdeveloped countries and it will be rising more than 10%pamongapeoplec>70ayears of age, whereas estimated theoprevalence ofcpatients with advanced HF is about 1% until 10%cof thekoverallkHFopopulation.

Some early reports estimated the prevalence of diuretic resistance about 20%-30% in HF population.

We also describe pharmacologicalvand non-pharmacologicalstrategies to overcome this issue.

Hospitalisation for acute heart failure (AHF) is associated with high mortality and high rehospitalisation rates. In the absence of evidence-based therapy, treatment is aimed at stabilisation and symptom relief. The majority of AHF patients have signs and symptoms of fluid overload, and, therefore, decongestion is the number one treatment goal. Diuretics are the cornerstone of therapy in AHF, but the treatment effect is challenged by diuretic resistance and poor diuretic response throughout the spectrum of chronic to worsening to acute to post-worsening HF. Adequate dosing and monitoring and evaluation of diuretic effect are important for treatment success. Residual congestion at discharge is a strong predictor of worse outcomes. Therefore, achieving euvolaemia is crucial despite transient worsening renal function.

The evolution of cancer therapies has led to marked improvement in survival of those affected by childhood malignancies, while also increasing the recognition of early and late toxicities associated with cancer therapies. Cardiotoxicity can include cardiomyopathy/heart failure, coronary artery disease, stroke, pericardial disease, arrhythmias, and valvular and vascular dysfunction as a result of exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation. Anthracyclines remain the most common cause of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CCM) with varying clinical presentations including: acute, early onset, and late-onset. Many individuals develop cardiac dysfunction over the long-term, ranging from subclinical cardiac dysfunction to end-stage symptomatic heart failure. The focus of this review is on characterization of symptomatic heart failure in children with cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) primarily due to CCM and utilization of advanced heart failure therapies, including ventricular assist device (VAD) support and heart transplantation, with consideration of unique patient-related factors.
