Nanoparticle-based approaches have gained attention as strategies to enhance therapeutic delivery; however, their clinical relevance depends on addressing true pharmacological barriers rather than repackaging existing agents. In this review, we present a conceptual framework to define when nanomedicine provides meaningful therapeutic value in heart failure. We argue that nanotechnology should not be viewed as a replacement for guideline-directed medical therapy, but as an enabling platform for the targeted delivery of potent therapies limited by pharmacokinetic and biodistribution constraints. We summarize the principal nanoparticle platforms used in cardiovascular applications, including lipid-based and polymeric systems, and contextualize their use across key pathophysiological domains in heart failure: TGF-\u03b2 (transforming growth factor-beta)\u2013mediated fibrosis, IL-1\u03b2 (interleukin-1 beta) and TNF-\u03b1 (tumor necrosis factor-alpha)\u2013driven inflammation, reactive oxygen species\u2013mediated injury, regenerative strategies, and gene- and mRNA-based therapies. We propose 3 criteria for translational relevance: (1) a targetable myocardial microenvironment, (2) a therapeutic agent limited by conventional delivery, and (3) a formulation that confers a demonstrable clinical advantage. Although these conditions are met in selected preclinical models, clinical translation remains limited. The field is therefore shifting from an emphasis on delivery feasibility to therapeutic necessity. Nanomedicine is best positioned as a precision adjunct to heart failure therapy\u2014enabling the right therapy to reach the right myocardium at the right time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circheartfailure.125.014109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T09:00:16Z","timestamp":1786698016000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery in Heart Failure"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7670-3423","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jimmy Zhi En","family":"Heng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (J.Z.E.H., Z.N.L.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7569-0888","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zhi Ning","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (J.Z.E.H., Z.N.L.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3515-7924","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kian Keong","family":"Poh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, National University Heart Centre Singapore (K.K.P.)."},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (K.K.P.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6535-5441","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dinesh Kumar","family":"Srinivasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (D.K.S.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15420\/cfr.2023.05"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40364-025-00728-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehaf323"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11909\/j.issn.1671-5411.2014.04.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.121.318158"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.119.313572"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jchf.2026.102939"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12265-025-10717-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.37765\/ajmc.2022.88844"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1615\/critrevtherdrugcarriersyst.v26.i6.10"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpharm.2026.126643"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mtbio.2024.101162"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cts.13894"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","unstructured":"ModernaTX Inc.
