Heart failure affects 3 in every hundred women and 4 in every hundred men. It has an untreated survival rate similar to cancer, and about 40% die within a year of diagnosis. The UK needs to do better on heart failure to improve outcomes for patients... Heart failure should not be viewed as a palliative condition, with sufferers waiting to die. More should be done to improve patients' quality of lives; better manage their condition to reduce unnecessary hospitalisations and save the NHS money; and help reduce mortality from heart failure.
