[Chronic heart failure in the elderly].
Chronic heart failure (CHF) presents the final stage of most cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of CHF in patients with coronary artery disease grows steadily with age. CHF causes an abrupt fall in the quality of life and working ability. CHF is the main reason for hospitalization in people older than 65. The total number of hospital admission and the frequency of early secondary admission of patients with this condition tend to grow. All of this determines the necessity to search new effective ways of early diagnostics and treatment of CHF.
