Abstract
The combination of the aging of the population in many countries, and improved survival after acute myocardial infarction has created a rapid growth in the number of patients currently living with chronic heart failure, with a concomitant increase in the number of hospitalizations for decompensated heart failure and of the episodes of acute heart failure.
