Chronic heart failure (CHF) is predominantly a pathology of old age affecting 5% of those over 75 years of age. It is more common than cancer and the long-term survival is considerably worse than most cancers as annual mortality is 50% in severe cases. Around 60,000 of heart failure patients die annually but only 6% of those dying with CHF are referred to palliative care.
