Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Heart Failure in
the Adult defnes HF as a complex clinical syndrome that
can result from any structural or functional cardiac
disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with
or eject blood.
Patients with untreated or poorly managed HF are
at high risk during dental treatment for
complications such as cardiac arrest, stroke
(cerebrovascular accident),and MI.
Incidence and Prevalence
The prevalence of HF is significantly increasing, primarily as a
result of advances in medical technology in preserving and
maintaining life after cardiovascular events.
Approximately 6 million people in the United States have HF,
with more than 550,000 new patients diagnosed each year.
In the United States, approximately 56,000 deaths each year
