Global, Regional, and National Burden of Heart Failure, 1990-2023

Heart failure is a significant global public health burden, and the impact is likely to increase as populations age. However, most HF etiologies can be prevented by interventions that reduce exposure to modifiable risk factors, such as elevated blood pressure, excessive alcohol consumption, and tobacco use. Etiology- and location-specific estimates can provide necessary information for public health officials to determine how best to prioritize interventions to reduce HF disease burden.
