Decomposition of Heart Failure Prevalence and Mortality Among Older Adults in the United States: Medicare-Based Partitioning Analysis
Decade-long declines in HF prevalence and mortality mainly reflected decreasing incidence, while the most recent increase of mortality was predominantly due to the declining survival. If current trends persist, HF prevalence and mortality are forecasted to grow substantially in the next decade. Prevention strategies should continue the prevention of HF risk factors as well as improvement of treatment and management of HF after diagnosis.
