Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing public health issue with an estimated prevalence of >37.7 million individuals globally. HF is a shared chronic phase of cardiac functional impairment secondary to many aetiologies, and patients with HF experience numerous symptoms that affect their quality of life, including dyspnoea, fatigue, poor exercise tolerance, and fluid retention. Although the underlying causes of HF vary according to sex, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, and environment, the majority of cases remain preventable. HF is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and confers a substantial burden to the health-care system. HF is a leading cause of hospitalization among adults and the elderly. In the USA, the total medical costs for patients with HF are expected to rise from US$20.9 billion in 2012 to $53.1 billion by 2030. Improvements in the medical management of risk factors and HF have stabilized the incidence of this disease in many countries. In this Review, we provide an overview of the latest epidemiological data on HF, and propose future directions for reducing the ever-increasing HF burden.

Introduction:At the end of twentieth century, the mortality from cardiovascular diseases allocated nearly half of the statistics of mortality in industrial and a quarter of fatalities in developing countries. Among these diseases is "congestive heart failure (CHF)" which is a very important part of cardiovascular diseases and almost all heart diseases can lead to this syndrome. 1 CHF is a debilitating complaint associated with a large number of readmissions. 2 A large body of research has revealed that CHF-related rehospitalization within six months is around 25-30%, which can increase to 40% within 1 year. 3 Another study showed the readmission from CHF range from 27% to 47% within three to six months after initial discharge. 4 One of the study in USA showed, annual readmission rate was 56.6%, median time to Abstract:Background: Repeated hospital readmissions are frequent and increasing over time in patients with heart failure (HF). The readmission rate within 3-6 months after discharge in these patients is 10-50%.
