Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic, progressive condition that affects the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs, either by becoming too weak or too stiff and unable to fill with blood. This can be caused by a variety of factors - most notably coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure.
In the US, CHF affects approximately 6.5 million people, and directly accounts for 8.5% of all heart disease deaths. This figure continues to grow with nearly 1 million new cases and hospitalizations each year. As this trend progresses, costs are predicted to reach $69.8 billion (127% increase from 2012) by 2030
