#24: The epidemiology of heart failure

Jan 30, 2013 15:30 EST


Dr Veronique Roger joins Dr Bernard Gersh to review the latest data and share insight into what is now termed an epidemic. They examine the diversification of cases, the thorny issue of hospital readmissions, differences between multimorbidities and comorbidities, how to address end-of-life care, and why it's essential to establish a holistic approach to HF.
