Mortality Associated with Heart Failure
Based on the 44-year follow-up of the NHLBI’s Framingham Heart Study:
- 80% of men and 70% of women under age 65 who have heart failure will die within following 8 years.
- In people diagnosed with heart failure, sudden cardiac death occurs at 6 to 9 times the rate of the general population.
- One in eight deaths has heart failure mentioned on the death certificate.
Hospital Discharges
- Hospital discharges for heart failure rose from 400,000 in 1979 to 1,084,000 in 2005, an increase of 171%. (NHDS / NHLBI and AHA calculations).
Cost
• The estimated direct and indirect cost of heart failure in the United States for 2008 is $34.8 billion.
