Heart failure (HF) in elderly patients who may benefit from surgical therapy is usually secondary to ischemic or valvular heart disease. When referring such patients for surgery, life expectancy, along with the expectations of the patient and family with regard to the surgical treatment, must be ...
Heart failure may occur suddenly or develop gradually and is the final common pathway of a variety of primary cardiovascular disease entities. Coronary artery disease and hypertension are the two major risk factors for the development of heart failure in the elderly. Other common aetiologies include...
The impact of cardiac dysfunction and heart failure is continuing to escalate in the developed world. Treatment of this heterogeneous condition has focused on the symptomatic stage, often after irreversible remodeling and functional impairment have occurred. Early identification of cardiac dysfunction would ...

To translate observed effects of lifestyle on heart failure to public health interventions, it is relevant to gain more insight in the impact of overall lifestyle on incident heart failure and on total life expectancy, and on life expectancy with and without heart failure. Our main goal, ...
Heart failure (HF) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome marked by substantial morbidity and mortality. The natural history of HF is well established; however, epidemiological data are continually evolving owing to demographic shifts, advances in treatment and variations in access to health care.
