Prevalence and mortality rate of heart failure across demographic groups in the United States: 2001–2020
We observe rising trends in both prevalence and mortality across all groups. While the absolute burden is highest in Whites, the increase in HF rates among Blacks and the higher mortality rates in males highlight the need for targeted interventions. The findings underscore the importance of continued surveillance and considering multiple metrics (absolute numbers, rates within groups, and proxy CFR) to address HF's burden in diverse populations.
