RESUMEN
La insuficiencia cardiaca, es una de las entidades con mayor incidencia en los últimos años. Debido al avance en diversas áreas de la práctica cardiológica, cada vez se presenta con mayor frecuencia, lo que ha obligado a un mayor conocimiento de sus mecanismos de progresión y a la investigación de fármacos con la finalidad de aliviar la sintomatología y con ello mejorar la clase funcional de estos enfermos. Desde luego, el tratamiento con medidas dietéticas, tales como baja ingesta de sodio y restricción hídrica se han mantenido en uso durante muchos años, así como diuréticos y digitálicos. Sin embargo, han surgido nuevas alternativas de tratamiento médico, las cuales se analizan en el presente trabajo y que en los años por venir, sin duda serán perfeccionadas e incorporadas al armamentario terapéutico.
