Summary

Heart failure is a leading cause of death, but cardiovascular mortality decreased by 31% from 1980-1997. Despite this, heart failure mortality rose in older adults, with hypertension and non-adherence being key factors.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Heart failure (HF) is a significant clinical problem with high morbidity and mortality.
  • Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death in the country.
  • HF is the most frequent cardiovascular entity.

Purpose:

  • To determine the impact of heart failure (HF) syndrome in Argentina.
  • Analyze trends in HF mortality and prevalence.
  • Identify associated risk factors and causes of decompensation.

Summary:

  • Cardiovascular mortality decreased by 31% between 1980 and 1997.
  • Heart failure (HF) mortality decreased by 22.4% from 1990 to 1997.
  • Age-adjusted HF mortality increased in individuals over 65.
  • Hypertension is a prevalent risk factor, and non-compliance with medication/diet contributes to decompensation.

Impact:

  • Despite overall cardiovascular mortality reduction, HF remains a major concern, particularly in the elderly.
  • Findings highlight the need for improved patient adherence to treatment and management of hypertension.
  • Increased pharmacological prescriptions suggest evolving treatment strategies for heart failure.
