Key result
Chinese adults aged ≥35 years had an overall heart failure prevalence of 1.3% and a left ventricular systolic dysfunction prevalence of 1.4%.
Why the study?
Heart failure is a major health burden worldwide, but nationwide epidemiological data on heart failure in China after 2000 were lacking.
Population
22 158 participants aged ≥35 years in China

Heart failure affects an estimated 13.7 million adults in China, with a high prevalence of LV dysfunction and poor control of comorbid hypertension.
Hao et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction (n=22,158). Chinese adults aged ≥35 years had an overall heart failure prevalence of 1.3% and a left ventricular systolic dysfunction prevalence of 1.4%.
