Heart failure

Heart failure is a disease which reduces heart contractility. This in turn reduces the amount of blood transporting nutrients.

Heart failure is caused by: blockages of coronary artery, reduced intracellular calcium and impaired energy production and utilisation. The major effects include: pulmonary or peripheral oedema and excessive heart activity.

Is there a faster way of detecting heart failure? why don't we make a nanobot that will be able to diagnose and detect heart problems? or something linked to the baroreceptors?

Why aren't the causes of heart failure targeted?
