Abstract:
The incidence and prevalence of heart failure are increasing worldwide. Despite numerous scientific and clinical innovations the mortality and morbidity rates in heart failure patients remain high, so that guideline-conform diagnostics and treatment are of decisive importance. Cardiac decompensation is one of the leading reasons for hospital admissions in Germany. Thus, the treatment of patients with heart failure represents a substantial challenge for the German healthcare system. This article highlights the latest scientific knowledge on acute and chronic heart failure from the years 2018-2020.
