PG - C134-8 AB - Chronic heart failure is common, with an incidence of 1 in 1000 of the general population, and is rising at 10% per year (Cowie et al, 1999: Owan et al, 2006). In the UK, the prevalence is estimated at 900000 patients, with only 7000 of these under the age of 65 years (Petersen et al, 2002). Approximately 200000 are in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III/IV, meaning they are breathless on mild exertion.
