Heart failure (HF) represents a disease with high mortality and morbidity rate. Because of its high prevalence, HF causes big overall economic
and social burden. As the population generally grows older and better diagnostic and treatment methods are being developed in
cardiology, much more patients develop HF. We can offer HF pharmacotherapy and implantable device therapy in order to improve patients
prognosis. Also the development of the whole care system for HF patients is very important, especially establishing specialized clinics
for HF that provide adequate diagnostics, treatment and education of patients in a co-operation with their primary care providers.
