AB  - Heart failure (HF) requiring hospitalization can be defined as an admission to 
      the hospital resulting in a calendar date change. According to the National 
      Hospital Discharge Survey, the number of HF hospitalizations, either as a primary 
      or secondary diagnosis, tripled between 1979 and 2004, and individuals over the 
      age of 65 make 80 % of the prevalent cases of heart failure in the developed 
      countries. HF is the most expensive Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) diagnosis for 
      hospitalizations in general, and the most frequent diagnosis for 30-day 
      readmissions, incurring 15 billion in cost. To better understand and capture 
      information, registries and trials have started to examine hospitalization rates 
      and HF mortality, in addition to characterizing the hospitalized population. 
      Registries exist worldwide. The role of emergency departments and HF clinics has 
      become paramount in recognizing the preventable hospitalizations and 30-day 
      readmissions, and cost containment.
