Heart Failure
Heart failure is the gradual loss of the heart’s ability to pump enough blood to supply the body’s needs. Sometimes this condition is called congestive heart failure, because the body retains fluid—often around the lungs (congestion) or in the legs and feet.

Heart failure patients suffering from at least 1 comorbidity: More likely to worsen the patients overall health status3
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of hospitalizations around the world. Approximately 26 million people worldwide live with heart failure.1 In most areas of the world, heart failure is common and increasing.
“1 in 5 of us can expect to develop heart failure in our lifetime”4
Although patients with chronic heart failure have improved outcomes with implementation of evidence-based therapies, ultimately, they still progress to an advanced stage of the disease. Patients with advanced heart failure comprise an estimated 1 % to 10 % of the overall heart failure population.” 5–8
With the complexity and rise in prevalence of heart failure, the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology aims to make the prevention and management of heart failure a global health priority.
