About Heart Failure

Heart failure is the leading medical cause of hospitalization and is expected to result in estimated direct and indirect costs to the healthcare system in 2008 of $35 billion. Despite important therapeutic advances in pharmacologic and device therapies, the prognosis of heart failure patients remains poor. Access to nonpharmacologic therapies, such as heart transplantation and the use of mechanical assist devices, is restricted to a fraction of patients who need them. About 5 million people in the United States have heart failure, and another 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Heart failure contributes to or causes about 280,000 deaths annually. The most common symptoms of heart failure are shortness of breath, feeling tired, and swelling in the ankles, feet, legs, and sometimes the abdomen. There is no cure for heart failure.
