Jump to: navigation, search

Heart failure is a debilitating condition in which the heart weakens and gradually loses the ability to pump blood effectively. Nearly 22 million people worldwide -- including approximately 6.5 million in Europe -- currently suffer from heart failure, which affects not only a patient's quality of life, but also life expectancy. Nearly one million new cases of heart failure are diagnosed annually, making it the most rapidly growing cardiovascular disorder.
