Highlights the alarming global rise in heart failure incidence and prevalence driven by economic globalization and lifestyle changes.

Key Points

To examine how economic globalization, urbanization, and changing lifestyle patterns are driving a rapid increase in the global incidence and prevalence of heart failure.
Reviewed global epidemiological trends in cardiovascular disease mortality and incidence across developing and developed regions.
Evaluated the cascade of cardiovascular risk factors—including poor diet, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes—culminating in myocardial damage.
Cardiovascular mortality has declined in Western Europe and North America since the 1970s, but heart failure rates continue to surge globally in industrializing areas.
Regional data, such as teaching hospital admissions in Hong Kong, demonstrate an incidence rate of 3–3.8 per 1,000 person-years, escalating to 20 per 1,000 person-years in women over 85 years of age.
