Abstract
Congestive heart failure is an increasingly important cause of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. It is the number one cause of hospitalization among
individuals aged 65 and over. The United States Medicare system pays out more
for the care of congestive heart failure than it does for all forms of cancer
combined. While this is a challenge for the US healthcare system, it indicates
a strong market opportunity for pharmaceutical companies involved in CHF
treatment.
