Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a widespread clinical condition that affects numerous individuals globally and is a leading cause of hospitalization, particularly in the elderly population. Despite efforts to manage HF using various pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, mortality and hospitalization rates remain alarmingly high. Preventive vaccination has emerged as a key measure endorsed by cardiology societies for reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with HF. This study undertakes an extensive review of existing literature to explore the role of vaccination in managing HF, focusing specifically on the immunological pathways involved and potential benefits offered by immunization in this context. This article highlights the role of various vaccines, including influenza, pneumococcal, and COVID-19 vaccines, in reducing HF-related hospitalization, mortality, and overall disease burden. Additionally, this article will delve into specific vaccines that have shown promise in HF management, such as influenza, pneumococcal, and COVID-19 vaccines, along with the rationale for their use, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and real-world data supporting their effectiveness in patients with HF. This article also considers potential challenges and obstacles to widespread vaccination in individuals with HF, which include vaccine hesitancy, accessibility, and adverse events related to vaccines.
