TL;DR
Elderly patients with HF are a heterogeneous group and appear to differ substantially from patients enrolled in clinical trials, and evidence-based guidance for treatment in the context of multiple comorbid conditions, poor renal function, HF with preserved left ventricular systolic function, and residence in long-term care facilities is urgently needed.
Abstract
Elderly patients with HF are a heterogeneous group and appear to differ substantially from patients enrolled in clinical trials. Evidence-based guidance for treatment in the context of multiple comorbid conditions, poor renal function, HF with preserved left ventricular systolic function, and residence in long-term care facilities is urgently needed.

CHF is a disease of the "very elderly," frequently occurs in the setting of normal ejection fraction, and has a poor prognosis, regardless of the level of systolic function.

Congestive heart failure is a common problem in the U.S., with significant prevalence and mortality, both of which increase with advancing age, and estimates suggest that between 1 and 2 million adults are affected.

Heart failure CF is much higher in the general population than in clinical trials, especially in the elderly, and survival has increased significantly over the last decade, although there is still much room for improvement.

Congestive heart failure continues to be a lethal end stage of cardiovascular disease caused by hypertension, coronary disease, valve deformity, diabetes, and cardiomyopathy and the prevalence of cardiac failure can be expected to rise because the predisposing conditions are palliated, not cured.

Reliance on ICD codes results in the exclusion of one third of the patients with clinical evidence of acute CHF and the allocation of resources for relevant surveillance, research, medical care, and preventive efforts should be reevaluated.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factor(s) that characterize impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in congestive heart failure patients, and the fragile nature of GFR in the elderly CHF population.

Substantial data suggest that women may have diastolic dysfunction more often than men, which would explain differences in mortality and the difficulty in enrolling women in studies of medical therapy for heart failure with underlying systolic dysfunction.
