Underscores the global heart failure burden and rising mechanical support use; extends epidemiological summaries for guiding future research priorities.
This review provides an overview of the epidemiology, economic burden, and utilization of mechanical circulatory support for heart failure in 2020.
Bowen et al. (2020) conducted a review in Heart failure. Mechanical circulatory support was evaluated. Heart failure affects approximately 26 million patients worldwide, and this review summarizes global trends, costs, and the growing utilization of mechanical circulatory support.
