Abstract

Heart failure represents a significant medi-cal and economic burden and is also an important cause of mortality and morbid-ity. The advances in treating coronary ar-tery disease mainly pertaining to modern invasive cardiology significantly reduced the mortality from coronary atherosclero-sis, but on the other side caused an increase in incidence and prevalence of congestive heart failure. Heart failure is a disease of the elderly. In that population the inci-dence is 10 in 1000 patients older than 65 years and has a high five-year mortality de-spite all modern treatment modalities.
