  • Geriatrics
  • Cardiology
  • Home Healthcare

Background:

  • Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization in the elderly population.
  • The prevalence of heart failure is projected to increase significantly over the next decade.
  • Heart failure patients represent a substantial and growing client base for home care services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of heart failure in the elderly.
  • To discuss the pathophysiology, compensatory mechanisms, and clinical manifestations of heart failure.
  • To present current evidence-based management strategies for home care of heart failure patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on heart failure.
  • Discussion of diagnostic criteria and clinical presentation.
