Cases of chronic HF expected to reach 32M by 2028 – Cardiovascular Business

Diagnosed cases of chronic heart failure are expected to number 32 million by 2028, according to a report from analytics company GlobalData.

Thats a 40% increase from 2018, the report read, at which point researchers logged 26.8 million chronic HF diagnoses across the worlds eight major markets (8MM), including the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and China. Epidemiologist Arunkumar N.V., MPH, and colleagues at GlobalData said the probable jump will likely be the result of improved HF screening, detection and therapies.

The substantial increase in comorbidities such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension may be driving the number of diagnosed prevalent cases to rise in the elderly, Arunkumar N.V. said in a release. It is observed that HF with preserved ejection fraction is one of the most common cardiac complications of long-standing hypertension. In 2018, the 8MM saw more than half of chronic HF patients experience CAD or hypertension as a major comorbid condition.
