What are the temporal trends in heart failure incidence, mortality, and hospitalizations in Olmsted County, Minnesota from 2000 to 2010?
Despite a decline in heart failure incidence, mortality remains unchanged, highlighting the growing impact of noncardiovascular comorbidities and the need for holistic management strategies.
Supports greater attention to noncardiovascular comorbidities in HF; hypothesis-generating for interventions targeting mortality.
Over the last decade, the incidence of HF declined substantially, particularly for HFrEF, contrasting with no apparent change in mortality. Noncardiovascular conditions have an increasing role in hospitalizations and remain the most frequent cause of death. These results underscore the need to augment disease-centric management approaches with holistic strategies to reduce the population burden of HF.
