to make a difference. There are so many people out there who still think that animals are no more than possessions to do with as we please. So sad. We just had a dog with heart failure come into the centre. I'd be interested in getting your view on what its life expectancy might ...
‘Heart failure is a devastating disease that affects more than 10m people in Europe and the US’
Aims: Heart failure has been demonstrated in previous studies to have a dismal prognosis. However, the modern-day prognosis of patients with new onset heart failure diagnosed in the community managed within a disease management programme is not known. The purpose of this study is to report on ...
The prevalence of heart failure in the UK is rising, principally as a result of an aging population, lower mortality following acute myocardial infarction and improved use of evidence-based heart failure therapies.32 It is imperative that robust systems are in place to ensure access to specialist...

As the population of the UK ages, more individuals will experience co-existing morbidities, i.e. multiplehealth conditionsthat impact life expectancy. Currentheartfailure treatment is intrinsically disease-centred and almost exclusively focuses on patients' cardiovascular health. To boost survival rates, ...
