Common precipitating pathology includes coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension and valvular heart diseases, in addition to other noncardiac conditions, such as diabetes, anaemia and kidney dysfunction…

Heart failure (HF) is a feared endpoint for most cardiovascular diseases and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The worldwide prevalence of HF is between 2 and 3 % and rises sharply at around 75 years of age, so that the prevalence in 70- to 80-year-old people is between 10–20 %. With a 50 % 5-year survival rate, HF is predicted to be the leading cause of all morbidity by 2020.1,2…
