While overall HF incidence is declining among Medicare beneficiaries with primary risk factors, the rising incidence in patients with acute MI and atrial fibrillation identifies key targets for future prevention strategies.

The increase in HF incidence among those with acute MI and those with AF highlights potential targets for future HF prevention strategies.
