The Rotterdam Study Bleumink GS et al. Euro Heart J 2004;25:1614-19

Population-based cohort of 7,983 people age

55

30% of individuals age 55 years will develop HF in their remaining life

Hospital Admissions for Heart Failure

Incidence and prevalence data are relatively difficult to obtain

Hospitalisation data are often used as surrogates

• •

Rely on discharge coding Reasonable reflection of the burden of heart failure

Used for planning healthcare delivery

Small implantable devices like pacemakers

Able to deliver small electric shock across the heart to terminate ventricular arrhythmias

Improved survival in patients with chronic heart failure
