A complicated clinical disease known as heart failure (HF) comes on by anatomical or functional anomalies in the heart that compromise blood flow. This review article presents a comprehensive examination of the role of lipid profiles in the HF. It specifically focuses on the serum levels of traditional lipid parameters, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the development and progression of the HF. To conduct this review, several databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct were utilized. Specific keywords used in the search include “heart failure”, “lipid profile”, “triglycerides”, “total cholesterol”, “high-density lipoprotein cholesterol”, and “low-density lipoprotein cholesterol”. The language for clinical investigations included in this review were limited to those set to English. The findings suggest that lower levels of TG may be associated with elevated pulmonary artery pressure, tricuspid regurgitation, and increased dimensions of the right side of the heart. These associations indicate impaired liver function due to right-sided HF in the chronic HF patients. Dysfunctional HDL-C is believed to contribute to the occurrence and advancement of HF. Additionally, serum TC levels have been identified as a potential prognostic factor in individuals with advanced HF. On the other hand, lower LDL-C levels seem to indicate worse prognosis for HF patients. However, further research is required to determine the precise mechanisms by which these lipid profiles influence the development and progression of the HF.
