Heart Failure Treatment in the Last Years of Life: A Nationwide Study of 364 000 Individuals
In patients with heart failure, a changing pattern of medical treatment during the last years of life was observed, most notably with an increasing use of beta blockers. This may in part be due to a changing pattern of comorbidities over time, with an increase in e.g. hypertension and atrial fibrillation, but a decline in ischaemic heart disease.
