Heart Failure Statistics in Korea, 2020: A Report from the Korean Society of Heart Failure [PDF]
Background and Objectives Heart failure (HF) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. With ageing society and increasing prevalence of risk factors of HF, the prevalence of HF is expected to increase, as well. In this official report of the Korean

Essential facts Heart failure affects about 900,000 people in the UK. The condition can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in older people, with more than half of all patients over the age of 75. It is caused by the heart failing to pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure, usually because the heart muscle has become too ...

Prevention of heart failure [PDF]
In light of the increasing prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of heart failure, preventative strategies are urgently needed. Risk factors include coronary artery disease, renal insufficiency, diabetes, and smoking. Essential strategies for prevention of heart failure are modification of risk factors for its development, and detection and treatment of

Sarcopenia and Heart Failure [PDF]
Modifications of lean mass are a frequent critical determinant in the pathophysiology and progression of heart failure (HF). Sarcopenia may be considered one of the most important causes of low physical performance and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness in older patients with HF. Sarcopenia is frequently misdiagnosed as cachexia. However, muscle wasting
